The new Volvo B5RLE Hybrid is not only the most fuel-efficient
Volvo city chassis, thanks to the ability of running with the
diesel engine shut off, but it’s also reliable regardless of
driveline technology.
Volvo has taken a firm lead in hybrid technology, environmental
performance and reliability with over 1,000 hybrid buses sold
world-wide.
The Volvo Hybrid technology has proven to reduce CO2
emissions with 33 tonnes per bus at 70,000 km/yr.
According to independent reports from operators in major cities
globally, the hybrid product range has also proven to be No 1 in
uptime.
The Volvo B5RHLE chassis uses
a parallel hybrid system combining the electric and diesel engine.
Compared to a conventional diesel bus, the hybrid utilises energy
otherwise wasted during braking.
Add to that silent and emission-free boarding and take off, it’s a
winner.
