| This is the first large diesel/electric hybrid bus in the world to use an inverter-controlled motor-generator to reduce pollution and fuel consumption. The system converts the energy of vehicle deceleration into electrical energy and stores it in batteries. During acceleration, the electric motor provides power to assist the engine, thereby reducing smoke and other emissions, as well as lowering fuel consumption by utilizing the energy regenerated from deceleration. The system is called the Hybrid Inverter-controlled Motor & Retarder, or HIMR. The system has been commercialized not only for city and highway buses, but also for delivery trucks and garbage trucks. |
