(1888PressRelease) May 27, 2016 - "With close to fifty thousand school buses, New York State has to start thinking of a transport system that is more energy efficient", says Michael Tornabe, the man at the helm of Logan Bus Company, a privately owned school bus company that has over 2000 contracted routes.
New York has already begun looking into alternatives by purchasing 2 hybrid school buses. The idea is to have cleaner buses that are energy efficient and make use of hybrid-electric technology. They are to be powered by an 80 kilowatt hybrid drive system, which will be powered by a company known as Enova System.
The buses were purchased through a consortium of school districts from various states. They have come together to purchase hybrid-electric school buses. The goal of this consortium is to encourage those who manufacture school buses to provide energy efficient buses that are cleaner and that will use this technology. Members of the consortium come from Iowa, New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Virginia, Oregon, North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina and Florida.
In New York, 2.3 million children are ferried to and from school daily. Governor Pataki has already provided funds from his Clean Air/ Clean Water Bond Act so that NYSERDA can have two thousand five hundred school buses that ply eighty-four school districts to be fitted with technology that controls emissions. In addition, buses that use alternative fuels 100% have also been purchased.
Even though steps have been taken to reduce emissions from school buses, there are still many out there that have not been modified in any way. Some of the methods used in the reduction of emissions include the purchase and installation of emission reduction technologies, such as diesel oxidation catalysts that have been purchased for one thousand four hundred and twenty-six buses that carry children in NYC.
Hybrid-electric buses, like the 2 battery powered ones that have already been purchased, will go a long way in improving the quality of air that the children and other New Yorkers breathe in. 19 more hybrid-electric buses have been ordered to be used by the 11 states that are part of the consortium.
