In its efforts to reduce levels of exhaust emission and fuel consumption, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is currently developing a large, hybrid-electric city bus which uses a market-proven diesel engine to drive the electric generator, hence not requiring a new infrastructure. This report describes the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) system's specifications, the mechanism that enables the system's performance in the reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. It also describes the noise reduction and other merits that the system realizes
