It'd only make sense for the MTA to use E60LF buses on their crosstown local routes. The electric buses would save fuel and maitenance costs on routes which find their buses normally operating at low speeds with frequent stops. This is the perfect regime for an electrically powered bus as opposed to a diesel or CNG powered bus. A hybrid would solve some of the problem, but without it building up some speed the regenerative braking system would have little to charge the batteries off of and the diesel would likely remain in relatively constant operation. |
