USA - Allison Transmission Holdings Inc of Indianapolis has announced availability of a new option to fully electrify components used with its H 40/50 EP parallel hybrid propulsion system for transit buses and coaches. The electric distribution platform used to generate electrical energy to power a vehicle's electrical accessory components, such as electric air conditioning, electric air compressors and power steering systems, has been co-developed with electric power management and conversion specialist, Vanner Inc of Hilliard, Ohio. It features Vanner's second generation customizable electric distribution platform, the Increased Accessory Power II (IAP II), which includes either a single or dual Hybrid Beltless Alternator (HBA).
