Enova Systems powers ahead with hybrid bus programme
14 May 2009
Alternative energy engineering company Enova Systems Inc has reported that it will be supplying the electric drive systems for a fleet of hybrid buses being manufactured by US truck maker Navistar.
Navistar – through its IC Bus division – is building the buses for the US Department of Energy (DOE) Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Technology Acceleration and Deployment Activity programme.
In addition to the award from the DOE, Enova has recently submitted applications totalling over $82 million from US federal and state loan programmes earmarked for developing clean energy systems.
As part of the DOE programme, Navistar and Enova are now set to develop 60 plug-in electric hybrid buses to fleets across the US during the programme.
Using Enova's electric drive system, IC Bus is the only bus manufacturer that currently offers a plug-in production hybrid school bus. In the proposed project, Enova will work to further develop the plug-in hybrid bus into a vehicle capable of all-electric drive for extended periods.
Mike Staran, Enova's president and chief executive, said: “The DOE award validates Enova's technology as one that is unique and provides a needed solution. I remain convinced that in spite of the economic downturn, the market remains legitimate and is beginning to show signs of opportunity.”
