CONTRIBUTION TO THE CONSIDERATION OF SIGNIFICANCE OF HYBRID BUSES IMPLEMENTATION IN CITY TRAFFIC COMPANIES

Paper presents analysis of implementation development of hybrid buses as well as interpretation of different experiences which users of hybrid vehicles have in their exploitation. Particular accent of interpretation was placed on the reducing of fuel consumption, which also indicates reducing of exhaust emissions gases, which can be achieved with implementation of hybrid buses in city traffic companies. Regarding to problem of autonomy which is still present in complete electric vehicles, it can be said that hybrid drive is more acceptable. This paper is involved in answer to the question: Does implementation of hybrid buses in city traffic companies is justified?
