completed

In 2017, for lots # 969, 976, 977, 4 and 5 of the 40-foot urban hybrid bus acquisition contract, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) will acquire 107 12-metre hybrid buses. These buses are equipped with a fully electrical propulsion hybrid system. The diesel engine activates a generator that produces the energy required to supply the electric propulsion engine and recharge the high-voltage battery. They will be equipped with systems with fare collection, operations support and information for travellers. In addition, these buses will be equipped with an air conditioning system. Out of the 107 buses purchased, 23 will added to what is in service and 84 will be replacements.
