maintenance and extended maintenance intervals, which significantly reduces our operational costs.” Capstone’s C65 for HEV applications operates on a spectrum of commercially viable fuel types, including – but not limited to – natural gas, methane gas, and diesel. Regardless of the fuel type, the environmental attributes of ECObus meet stringent Euro-4 emission standards, since exhaust from Capstone microturbines contains no more than 9 ppm of NOx and CO. “The microturbine increases the distance buses can travel without refueling, which reduces our fuel consumption up to 40 percent.” — Sergey Klyucharyev, Engineering Director, CJSC TROLZA “Microturbines’ ecological features include quiet noise levels and low NOx and CO emissions, which makes the ECObus ideal for resort areas and densely populated cities where clean and quiet transportation is a priority.” Compared to traditional buses, ECObus emissions are 12 times less than traditional diesel-fueled buses and six to eight times less than buses with gas reciprocating engines. Fuel efficiency of a Capstone-energized HEV is 40–80 percent higher than conventional drivetrain vehicles. In addition, service costs of a Capstone- powered hybrid can be 70 percent lower than a conventional engine. The ECObus reduces fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance, but does not compromise passenger comfort. Using a heating fluid loop, the microturbine’s thermal energy is captured and efficiently used to warm the passenger compartment, which eliminates the need for an autonomous heating system. The mere hum of the microturbine beneath the floorboard does not exceed 60 dB, which is similar to the muted noise level of a trolley-bus. In addition, the microturbine’s low vibration ensures even greater comfort. The compact microturbine equipment allowed ECObus designers to save space and increase the passenger compartment size, which can comfortably transport 95 passengers. ECObuses currently are deployed in large Russian cities and resorts in Southern Russia, and will play an important transportation role during the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. The ECObus-5250 operates entirely with batteries charged by an onboard Capstone C65 Microturbine. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2011 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
