This free to download White Paper provides bus & coach owners, operators and engineers with an overview of the repair and maintenance requirements and challenges for hybrid electric vehicles. Complete the form below to access the file.

With the sector facing increasing pressures to reduce emissions and invest in alternative propulsion, the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles is only set to grow. The difference in technology from standard diesel buses means that this new generation of vehicles poses challenges that those responsible for their upkeep might not be familiar with.

This White Paper will highlight some of the key differences on the drive train of hybrid buses and the challenges of maintaining their electro mechanical assets.

  • Understanding the differences between diesel and electric hybrid drive trains
  • Why operators are seeking an alternative to OEM maintenance
  • Challenges of hybrid electric drive train maintenance
  • Addressing a lack of maintenance schedules and specifications
  • What to look for in a maintenance partner

The maintenance challenges of this new generation of drive train technologies can leave operators beholden to OEMs for servicing and support for key assets such as traction motors, alternators and generators. However, this isn’t the only option available.

Houghton International offers longstanding expertise in repairs, maintenance and life extension for the transport sector. With over 35 years of electro mechanical engineering experience, we provide a high quality, cost-effective service whilst operating completely independently from any OEM.

For further information about the maintenance, repair and life extension of traction motors, generators, alternators and all other electro mechanical asset, download the whitepaper or contact Houghton International.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
