Better buses
More than 1,000 transit buses rely on the GM-Allison Two Mode hybrid system. The hybrid system allows buses to
1. Accelerate 50% faster from stops
2. Eliminate the poof of black smoke common to diesel buses
3. Improve fuel economy
4. Reduce emissions
Sales of General Motors' Two Mode hybrid SUVs started slowly this year. But as cities look to make their mass transit systems more environmentally friendly, GM has had increasing success selling the Two Mode system for use in diesel buses.
