wil9402 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I spotted two of the BYDs on the 401 East Express between Bayview and the DVP/404 around 4pm today. They ended up going north on the 404. There were no decals or fleet numbers on them. Only the livery and programmed destination signs (one showing NIS, the other showing Line 3 Shuttle to McCowan Stn). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably doing some kind of road test, maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogPentium Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Out of sheer curiosity, does anyone know the voltage of the batteries used on the XE40s? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be hard to beat Proterra. 3725 failing within 15 minutes of entering service and has yet to be seen again since last Tuesday. It seems like there is a fight for last place 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerD901 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Based on the CEO report for Nov 12th Meeting, the Flyers are performing well. That's good enough for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a blurb stating that the road calls had gone up for the 11 year old first generation hybrids lmao (I’m sure that the 1st gen hybrids are definitely 13 years old if they were delivered in 2006) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it looks off is because the bus was spec’d without frameless windows, or black paint to mimick the frameless effect, which would’ve come close to the roof line. BYDs here have small windows so without the black effect the proportions look off. Case in point is the demo that visited the garages. If it had it, no one would’ve bat an eye. But I guess they thought this was the best way to display the livery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a blurb stating that the road calls had gone up for the 11 year old first generation hybrids lmao (I’m sure that the 1st gen hybrids are definitely 13 years old if they were delivered in 2006) The "first generation hybrids" consist of both the 2006 built Orion VII buses as well as the 2007-2009 built Orion VII NG buses. The hybrid system is generally the same in both models of buses, compared to the ones currently used in the Nova LFS HEV buses. Other TTC documents and reports have also referred numerous times to the LFS HEV being the "second generation" of hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New vehicle procurement and commissioning contribute to high reliability, specifically 182 Nova Hybrid buses entered service in 2018 and 2019. In addition to this, we have deployed 10 New Flyer Full Electric buses into service to date, adding to the high reliability number 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtrazsteve Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 This whole hybrid and electric bus ordering in the name of environmental friendliness all started cause politicians wanted to brag. They should have kept the diesel bus and ban gasoline/diesel cars instead. Maybe force all those taxis roaming around to switch to electric. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure not having to pay for thousands of liters of diesel every year is pretty lucrative for agencies. And a lot of those taxis are hybrids eh? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
