CitiBus Hybrid Electric StarTrans

AZD has developed a commercially available series hybrid electric CitiBus using the HD Senator bus body manufactured by Supreme Corporation's StarTrans Bus Division for paratransit and shuttle bus customers. The CitiBus is the clean, fuel efficient alternative to conventional shuttle buses. The CitiBus is an environmentally responsible solution that  reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions.

Engine operation is optimized, and regardless of whether the engine is on or off, the hybrid system satisfies all of the bus's operational power needs. Driver and passenger safety and comfort is therefore assured. And more, the bus operation is extremely quiet thereby providing an improved environment for people inside and outside the bus.

The CitiBus has completed the Altoona 200,000 mile, seven-year test and meets the requirements for the Buy America and FTA funding programs.
