Lothian Buses 8 SN13 BDV 15/04/13

Monday the 15th April saw the launch of 10 new single deckers for route 1 between Clermiston and Easter Road.

 

The new vehicles are diesel-electric parallel hybrids. This means that either a small engine or an electric battery can power the gearbox which then drives the wheels. The battery is recharged from the engine and through regenerative braking when the bus slows down.
