Since I have a big motor home this is great news. Hopefully I will see it available in a motor home chassis.

It looks like Peterbilt will be the first adopter, but others will follow once the technology has been tested and successful.
International already is making hybrid school buses, the first went into service in one of our neighboring school districts.

I didn't pickup on the wording in the Peterbilt PR release: Apparently "leading" means "we are one of the leaders" :lol:

How many hybrid buses do you have in service and which cities have the most? The buses in the Sac area are mostly CNG and I haven't seen any hybrid ones here yet.
