DesignLine markets the following buses:

Model Photo Features
EcoSmart
  • The EcoSmart bus produces no emissions, operates for a full shift without direct recharging and captures energy traditionally lost during braking, returning it to the batteries.
  • No proprietary charging infrastructure is required.
  • EcoSmart can be produced in 30, 35 and 42 foot versions.
  • All accessories are electrically driven, reducing energy losses and increasing reliability.
EcoSaver
  • The EcoSaver uses the electric vehicle drive system with additional range capabilities provided by a unique-in-class, on-board micro-turbine generator. The 65 kW micro-turbine allows for battery recharge as energy cells are depleted during the shift. This results in the ability to sustain battery operation continuously.
  • It successfully completed third party "shaker table" testing with only minor issues evident after 500,000 simulated miles.
  • Unlike some hybrid bus systems that include an internal combustion engine that rely on conventional operation as battery capacity is depleted, the on-board turbine simply recharges the batteries, making all systems on the EcoSaver all electric at all times.
  • The micro-turbine is powered by CNG or diesel (and requires no Urea, after treatment, or expensive exhaust system).
  • The bus has no engine, no transmission, or engine oil which results in less maintenance and reduced cost of operation. The micro-turbine has only a single moving part.
  • The EcoSaver is CARB 2010 compliant and meets 2014 CARB emissions levels.
EcoCoach
  • The DesignLine coach is a high floor, single door bus powered by either compressed natural gas (CNG) or diesel fuel.
  • The frame is an innovative design using a stainless steel chassis and aluminum body that reduces overall vehicle weight and adds to improved fuel efficiency.
  • It features cutting-edge cooling technology from EMP that allows for superior performance with less maintenance and less power usage, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
  • The bus is Altoona tested (45 foot CNG version)

Famous quotes containing the word products:

    “The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Good wine needs no bush,
    And perhaps products that people really want need no
    hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
    Why not?
    Look at pot.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
