East New York Posted October 21, 2011 Share #30 Posted October 21, 2011 :tup::tup::tup: Exactly, This is the first Hybrid Electric LFSA for CTTransit. Thus the humps on the roof in the rear and the words Hybrid Electric on the side in the video (if he viewed it) unlike the LFSAs currently in service which are "humpless"...Up on copyright laws but not on buses... LMAO!!! He could brush up on those copyright laws too! LFS-A Hybrid.....WHY DIDNT WE GET THESE AT FIRST? There was no such thing as an LFSA HEV when the TA ordered artics. These are the first to be delivered. Last year CT ordered 35 with options for 35 more, for a total of 70 LFSA's. The order calls for a mix of both diesel and hybrid.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 21, 2011 Share #32 Posted October 21, 2011 So I'm curious... Will the be experimenting with the Prevosts as well? In other words, will these 90 buses have different specs and such aside from the blue stripe in the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriston Lewis Posted October 21, 2011 Share #34 Posted October 21, 2011 There was no such thing as an LFSA HEV when the TA ordered artics. So it wasn't because the MTA felt clean diesels were cheaper and were just as clean/efficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted October 21, 2011 Share #35 Posted October 21, 2011 Those batteries the hybrids use sure as hell ain't cheap to buy OR maintain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted October 21, 2011 Share #36 Posted October 21, 2011 So it wasn't because the MTA felt clean diesels were cheaper and were just as clean/efficient? No. There was no such bus! So it wasn't even an option. CT Transit is getting the first production hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year CT ordered 35 with options for 35 more, for a total of 70 LFSA's. The order calls for a mix of both diesel and hybrid. Well as of Last spring, Nova has been on the bid for SEPTA's new artics and offered them the LFS-A HEV. That's first I heard of them then BOOM they come in CT Transit form. I wondered with the bazillon MTA's getting why not just get one as a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because with the latest Clean Diesel technology, straight Clean Diesel is just as clean as hybrid buses, so why spend extra money when its not needed. Also the fuel savings with the Hybrids have been marginal at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted October 22, 2011 Share #43 Posted October 22, 2011 Well as of Last spring, Nova has been on the bid for SEPTA's new artics and offered them the LFS-A HEV. That's first I heard of them then BOOM they come in CT Transit form. I wondered with the bazillon MTA's getting why not just get one as a demo. In addition to what Trevor said, Nova didn't have an LFSA HEV for demo purposes. Therefore, no one has ever tested one to my knowledge. Not only that, but MTA is not interested in purchasing $900,000 artics right now. So it would have been a waste of both MTA's, and Nova's time to even test the thing. Hence 0059 being straight diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
