Summary ConclusionsSummary Conclusions
•CNG has dominated the alt fuels bus market
• Emissions gap between diesel & alt fuels narrowing– 2010 regulations: diesel emissions comparable with alt fuels
• Biodiesel– lowest capital cost of alt fuels
– Renewable, energy security, reduced GHG emissions
• Bus industry moving towards diesel hybrids
– improved fuel economy, reduced emissions• Electric Buses
– lowest emissions
