East New York Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share #176 Posted August 16, 2008 I found from Google that..........U.S.A., exhaust emissions from city buses fueled by diesel are not characterized well because current emission standards require engine tests rather than tests of whole vehicles. Labortories gathered realistic emission data from heavy-duty vehicles, including buses, tested in simulated driving conditions. A subset of these data has been utilized for a comprehensive introspection into the trends of regulated emissions from transit buses over the last 7 years, which has been prompted by continuously tightening restrictions on one hand, along with remarkable technological progress, on the other hand. Two widely used models of diesel engines manufactured by the Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) have been selected as a case-study for such an overview, based on full-scale, on-site testing of actual city buses, driven in accordance with the SAE J1376 standard of a Commercial Business District (CBD) cycle. ..............................Meaning it unfriendly? No. It has nothing to do with emissions standards. DD still makes engines for trucks and school buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share #185 Posted August 17, 2008 NOTICE: From now on, if a question goes unanswered for 24 hours, I will post a new one. Also, multiple answers will no longer be accepted, and counted as wrong. Thanks to all for their participation! Question: Why does Detroit Diesel no longer make transit bus engines? Answer: The main reason of several, is the fact that Daimler signed an exclusivity agreement to offer the Cummins/BAE combo for it's hybrids. Note all other bus manufacturers offer the GM-Allison hybrid system as well as other engine options. So to make it all short, Cummins will supply the engines exclusively at a cheaper rate, now that it is no longer a direct competitor of Detroit Diesel.

The other I'm not sure about simply because everytime someone confirms that either Ulmer Park or 126st is being torn down, another person says its a lie.
