The Mobility counselor and president of Titsa, Enrique Arriagaoffered this information during the visit he made to the facilities of Castrosúa, a company in charge of installing vehicle bodywork, in which he was accompanied by technicians from the company.
“The incorporation of these buses and those that remain will mean a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, in addition to considerable savings in fossil fuel consumption,” says Arriaga.
In this way, Titsa takes a step forward and leads, within its environmental commitment, the purchase and use of sustainable intercity buses.
hybrid technology
An electric hybrid bus uses two different types of energy to achieve its displacement: on the one hand, an internal combustion engine, generally diesel; and on the other, one or more electric motors. With these two technologies you can run the thermal motor, the electric motor or both together. In this way, the hybrid system can easily reduce fuel consumption –a reduction of an average of 30% is estimated– and, thereby, minimize polluting exhaust emissions –mainly diesel– such as nitrogen oxides NOx and nanoparticles.
The new vehicles comply with all accessibility features and incorporate the facilities that are being implemented in response to user needs, such as USB ports for recharging mobile devices or TFT technology screens.
