“We have deployed the ADL/BAE Systems-powered hybrids on Route 16 in Central London, and are pleased to say they have proved to be very reliable. Significant fuel savings have been delivered, with minimal driving training, and encouragingly they have been treated exactly the same as the diesel variants of the same model.”
– Ian Foster, Metroline engineering director
“We have a rather remarkable ambition of being completely zero-emission, 100 percent emission-free in our metropolitan transportation system by 2020. With this new hybrid technology, I think we will be well on our way of actually obtaining and reaching that goal.”
