KC Metro Breda Electric Trolley Bus Photos

Welcome to the gallery for the Breda ADPB350 buses. In 1990, KC Metro placed into service 235 Breda ADPB350 articulated buses. These articulated buses are duo-mode diesel-electric trolley buses. These buses were used for the downtown transit tunnel. These buses were built partly in Italy and Washington State in 1989-1990. By 2004/2005, the Breda fleet had been replaced by a fleet of New Flyer DE60LF Diesel-Electric hybrid buses. However, 59 coaches had their diesel engines removed and were thus convereted to straight trolley buses. They operate today as #4200-#4258. The original Breda ADPB350 buses were numbered 5000-5235 and powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and a ZF 4HP590 transmission. The trolley propulsion system consists of Fuji Traction Motor with AEG Westinghouse components. These buses are the only units of this kind operating in North America. For more information regarding these buses please visit here.
