A hybrid bus combines a traditional diesel or CNG engine with an electric bus motor and battery system. These vehicles reduce emissions and fuel use by capturing energy through regenerative braking and intelligently switching between power sources.
Hybrid buses typically feature:
This technology is widely used in urban transit because it extends range, lowers maintenance costs, and supports clean air initiatives — all while retaining long-route reliability. NEBR technicians are trained to service all major hybrid architectures and help maximize the lifespan of each system.
Hybrid transit buses combine internal combustion engines with electric motors to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. These systems demand precise diagnostics and experienced hands — especially as they age.
NEBR provides expert maintenance, servicing, and overhauls for hybrid-electric propulsion systems. Whether your fleet runs on BAE Systems, Allison, or OEM-built hybrids, we ensure peak performance and extended life cycles.
Our Hybrid Bus Preventive Maintenance includes:

A regional agency operating a 30-bus hybrid fleet was experiencing drivetrain degradation, reduced regen braking, and battery overheating.
Hybrid buses should follow both standard engine intervals and specialized hybrid system checks every 6,000–12,000 miles.
Yes. We’re experienced with Series-E, ER, H 40/50 EP, and more.
Battery degradation, inverter wear, and reduced regen braking performance are the top issues we solve regularly.
Yes. Hybrid bus systems—especially those from BAE and Allison—require high-voltage diagnostic equipment and software. NEBR is fully equipped with the tools and training to safely diagnose and repair all hybrid-electric drivetrains.
Absolutely. NEBR provides preventive maintenance, component-level repairs, and performance tuning that can improve fuel efficiency, extend battery life, and minimize downtime—all helping to lower total fleet costs.
