A look at Allison & BAE
Biggest players in the market.Allison: parallel vs. BAE: series hybrid system
Only 8.8% of U.S transit buses are using hybrid technology
Combined efforts: SF Climate Action Plan + SFMTA strives to
remain an environmental leader while improving serviceEvaluation Criteria
Fuel Efficiency: consumption, bio-diesel, cost savings
Reliability: MDBF, service delays, breakdowns
Maintainability: maintenance costs and durability
Acquisition Cost: cost savings

Top 4 Reasons We Purchased BAE1. BAE hybrid propulsion system is $45K less per bus
compared to Allison
2. Battery technology is expected to improve substantially in
the next 8 to 10 years to a point where it may be possible
to convert the BAE system to all electric buses
3. BAE system is equipped with scroll compressors
Advantage over regular compressors they do not spill outoil that causes clogs in the air system
4. BAE hybrid propulsion system is 10% more fuel efficientbased on initial consumption report

What is the GOAL?To get the BEST system for the fleet

Improving Technology with BAE
In 2006 purchased vehicles through Orion using the BAEsystem
MDBF was below 3K, poor performance
BAE made significant technology advancements Energy
1. Energy Storage System
2. Traction Motor Design
3. Traction Generator Design
4. PCS Power Control System

MDBF went from under 3K to over 5K
