"We're delighted to have the opportunity to demonstrate our technology in this capacity and hopefully are seeding future orders."

The Azure Balance Hybrid Electric Drivetrain is incorporated on a Ford E450 chassis and manages the conventional 5.4 liter Triton gasoline engine and the 5-speed automatic TorqShift transmission to produce a cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicle.
The contract was managed by American Bus & Coach in Trenton, N.J. Goshen Coach in Elkhart, Ind., a leading manufacturer of commercial buses, built the bodies for the buses.
