(b) Basic Vehicle Operation
| The hybrid consists of a diesel turbine generator connected in series with a battery pack and traction motors via a propulsion control system. The bus will operate in pure electric mode for zero emission operation (by cutting off the turbine) when enters the Ma Wan region. It resumes hybrid mode when out of the Ma Wan zone. Under the hybrid mode, the diesel turbine generator charges the battery pack which in turns provide power to the traction motors to drive the wheels. Three (3) similar models of hybrid electric buses supplied by the same manufacturer are currently operating in Christchurch, New Zealand. |
(c) Route
| The hybrid bus operates as a shuttle bus between Park Island and Tsing Yi Airport Railway Station. The round trip mileage is 18 km.
