Azure Dynamics - Citibus Hybrid Electric StarTrans
AZD has been designing and developing electric drive systems for over twenty years providing zero emission transportation solutions for our customers.
Our engineers are experts in power electronics, vehicle controls software development, electric machine design and vehicle integration. With over 40 different vehicle integrations to our credit, and more than 25 million miles of driving experience, you can rest assured that an AZD Force Drive Solution will do the job for you.
AZD has developed a commercially available series hybrid electric CitiBus™ using the HD Senator bus body manufactured by Supreme Corporation's StarTrans Bus Division for paratransit and shuttle bus customers. The CitiBus™ is the clean, fuel efficient alternative to conventional shuttle buses. The CitiBus™ is an environmentally responsible solution that reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions.
Engine operation is optimized, and regardless of whether the engine is on or off, the hybrid system satisfies all of the bus's operational power needs. Driver and passenger safety and comfort is therefore assured. And more, the bus operation is extremely quiet thereby providing an improved environment for people inside and outside the bus.
The CitiBus™ has completed the Altoona 200,000 mile, seven-year test and meets the requirements for the Buy America and FTA funding programs. To find out about state and city specific incentives in the US, please contact your local DOT office or visit the U.S. Department of Energy website.
