Kansas City On-Grid Hybrid Electric Bus Project
The design and construction of the Kansas City On-Grid Hybrid Electric Bus will be completed in Germany. Test trials will be conducted immediately after, in Germany and the United States. A baseline bus currently in production will be provided to run in parallel services and trials. This will generate necessary comparison data.

Daimler Chrysler ~ Germany
Upon completion of production, the bus will undergo initial testing by DaimlerChrysler in Germany, with expected delivery to Kansas City.

The University of Kansas ~ Lawrence, KS
The University of Kansas and the KU Car Care program will test the vehicle's exhaust emissions under a range of operating scenarios.

KCATA ~ Kansas City, MO
The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority will maintain a record of operating parameters and maintenance needs of the vehicle during its life in Kansas City.

Other Test Trials
A number of other initiatives are underway and will be conducting test trials that will supplement the data collected by the Kansas City On-Grid Hybrid Bus Project. Additional vehicles are currently being produced for trials in various European markets.
