Transport electrification[]

The Eco Hybrid (diesel-electric bus) is now setting new standards in practical trials in Japan. It can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent.[2] The Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star Eco Hybrid operates with a series hybrid drive, in which the diesel engine does not drive wheels directly but instead is used solely to drive an electrical generator to recharge lithium-ion batteries,[3] connected to the two electric motors (with a combined output of 158 kW), which propel the vehicle.[4] Series hybrids are efficient on vehicles like urban buses with low shares of constant or high speed within their driving profile.[5][6] On trucks like the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid Daimler Trucks utilizes - opposed to buses - a parallel hybrid system with an electric Motor-generator on the transmission input shaft. This system maintains better efficiency gains at higher speeds.

Range is 300 km (almost 200 miles).[7]
