The vehicle will work for one year to evaluate the operational suitability of its hybrid drivetrain.

Policymakers get to ride on a made-in-America electric rapid-charge hybrid bus for 68 passengers.

The partnership is to be formally announced at the Sustaining Electric Vehicle & Green Technology Expo.

New stations allow resting long-haul drivers to plug in to electricity instead of idling their engines.

30 of the world's largest medium and heavy-duty hybrid and high-efficiency vehicles will be demonstrated.

The bus has won the Grand Environment Award at its debut at Busworld Europe Kortrijk 2009.

Unladen, it is able to travel at up to 88 kilometres per hour, and has a range of 240 km on a single charge.

Electric bikes effectively double the useful travel range of the average bicycle rider.
