We are proud to supply 2008 EPA-compliant Motor Coach Industries J4500 buses. Sure,it only gets 5 to 9 mpg. (We know some SUVs that don’t do much better!) And the highest mileage Hybrid car gets 60 to 66 mpg. But when you adjust the numbers to account for per-passenger fuel efficiency, the picture looks a little different:
Factors | Hybrid Car | MCI Coach |
---|---|---|
Gallons of fuel needed to go 100 miles | 1.58 | 15.40 |
Typical number of occupied seats | 1 | 57 |
Per-passenger fuel consumption to travel | 1.58 | .27 |
Per-passenger cost to go 100 miles | $4.74 | $0.81 |
(assuming fully loaded vehicle, fuel price of $3 gallon) |
All new motor coaches equipped with 2007 diesel engines are vastly greener than their predecessors. Designed to drastically reduce polluting particulate emissions by 90%, they run exclusively on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.
