Cool pics! So they're just gonna leave those two things on top?

[BM5 via Woodhaven 5,154]

Wow, that looks so weird @ 3763, bus looks like the top was literally just broken apart like a toy. Anyways, what buses are next to get the conversion? An Xcelsior on the Bx39, lol, that looks like overkill!

Apparently all the Gen II+'s at MTA Bus...

What are the specs? ISL and Allison or ZF?

 

Awesome shots as always btw.

Smart move, but I thought this was just a 1-bus trial so far. The BAE HybriDrive was meant for urban stop and go traffic only, if this works out they should do the same thing to other BC/NYCT buses in the outer boroughs.

Now comes the part where everyone rushes for a sound clip or a video of 3563! Thanks for keeping us updated Trevor!

Yup, Cummins ISL9 transmission!

ISL is the engine. Allison or ZF made the transmission.

[MattTrain 3,099]

Great coverage, especially of that converted to the now formerly hybrid bus. 

[aemoreira81 965]

The buses that would be converted---3500-3783 or the 4000s at MTA Bus?

[T J Trainman 594]

It is only going to be the 3500-3783 batch, if the test is successful.....

[T J Trainman 594]

Excellent pic Trevor!!! Is this bus vack in service yet/

Whoops, my fault, sorry. ISL9 Engine. I don't know why I typed transmission. lol

[Metro CSW 1,507]

Thanks Guys...You're welcome.

Expect nothing less...

I just checked the bus out today, definitely has a remaned ISL in it. I can't tell if its an EPA '04 or an EPA '07 though, definitely not an ISL9. Given the age of the bus and the fact that every new EPA diesel exhaust regulation comes with a higher price tag, I'm leaning towards it being an '04 regulated ISL. As for the transmission, the keypad in the front has an Allison symbol on it, so I'm assuming the transmission follows suit. I just don't know exactly which model it is. I'll see if I can dig up a few things on the computer

[NewFlyer 230 1,099]

So will these OG's sound like the Orion 3G's we have?

I'm assuming it would be an EPA 07 ISL (or at least according to the documents that was posted some months ago)

They will not sound like the Orion 4Gs, this one has an Allison.

ISL7?! There is no such thing... Its just a Cummins EPA 07 ISL
