It's nice if the XDE40 has a BAE transmission, but I kind of like it with the Allison with smoother ride, performance, and passenger comfort.

 

BAE is a diesel electric propulsion system consisting of roof mounted battery packs, an extra generator in addition to the 24V alternator usually found in buses, a traction motor, and a control unit to tie it all together. The MTA has yet to test the Allison "hybrid" system.

The MTA demo tested the Allison system in a Gillig, and again in the XDE40. They are also supposed to be testing it on the BTE order for 90 DE60LFR's this year.
