Allison Transmission announced that the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration has selected New Flyer buses equipped with the Allison eGen Flex hybrid propulsion system to operate in the metropolitan Baltimore region. The 40-ft. electric-hybrid buses will be built in 2025.
The eGen Flex system is engineered to advance the efficiency of public transportation and help cities reduce their carbon footprint, Allison said. The propulsion solution’s geofencing technology allows buses to operate up to 50 percent of their route in engine-off mode, which leads to a substantial reduction of both emissions and noise. The eGen Flex also offers improved fuel economy of up to 25 percent compared to diesel buses.
“The eGen Flex system can be implemented now to help cities achieve their sustainability goals as the industry continues to evaluate low-emission technology,” said Rohan Barua, vice president, North America Sales, Global Channel and Aftermarket at Allison Transmission.
