KC Metro Breda Electric Trolley Bus Photos

Welcome to the gallery for Orion 07.501 NG HEV buses. In June of 2010, KC Metro took delivery of the prototype unit that would result in the future deliveries of these buses. These are 40 foot low floor diesel electric hybrid buses that are mainly replacing diesel Gilig Phantoms built in the mid 1990's. In 2011, the first 92 production units were delivered (#7001-7092). In 2012 deliveries continued with at leasst up to #7199 delivered. As Orion Bus Industries announced it's shutdown, it is is unconfirmed whether or not Orion will continue building the remaining buses left on contract for KC Metro.
These buses are powered by a Cummins ISB engine with the BAE HybriDrive system.

Please note this page only contains photos of the Breda ADPB350 buses after full electric trolley bus conversion (#4200-4258)
