Daimler Buses North America has now sold more than 3,000
diesel-electric hybrid buses, more than any other manufacturer in the
world, the company said.
More than 2,200 have been placed on the road and the company has orders
for another 850 buses marketed under the Orion name.
"We are obviously pleased to be the first manufacturer of hybrid buses
to reach the 3,000 unit mark, but we will not rest on our laurels," said
Andreas Strecker, president and CEO. "And as quickly as technology
advances, it is very important for Daimler Buses to remain ahead of the
curve in this industry."
Daimler Buses North America is headquartered in Greensboro, N.C., and
includes Setra motor coaches and Sprinter shuttle buses.
