Chicago, Illinois
6/17/2008Chicago Tribune: By Jon Hilkevitch/Tribune Reporter, 11:53 AM CDT, June 17, 2008: The CTA on Tuesday began testing a lighter-weight hybrid electric-powered bus that may achieve double the fuel efficiency of current hybrid buses, officials said. The key behind the technology is a jetlike turbine that delivers electricity to a battery pack that solely powers the bus. The bus being tested by the CTA is made by DesignLine International LLC in Charlotte, N.C.
