GREEN TECHNOLOGY THOMAS BUSES
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline, diesel and propane. It's cleaner. And more environmentally friendly.
We launched our CNG bus, the Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX CNG, more than 10 years ago. Since then, we've put more than 1,000 CNG buses on the road.
Versatile, customizable, and 2010 emissions-ready.
With a tough build and the largest windshield in its class for better driver visibility, it's no wonder the HDX is the long-route leader. The HDX can take on all of your school equipment, and up to 90 passengers, and it is completely customizable to satisfy your demands. Add-ons like air conditioning, pass-through underbody storage and coach-style seating keep everyone comfortable, no matter the distance.
Green Technology- SCR - How It Works
SCR is Selective Catalytic Reduction. This technology reduces tailpipe nitrogen oxide emissions, NOx, by treating the exhaust stream with a spray of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). DEF, along with the exhaust heat and a catalyst, converts NOx into nitrogen and water vapor, which are clean, harmless and present in the air we breathe every day.
Thomas Built's complete line of diesel buses will be equipped with SCR technology to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards. Thomas Built's mission is to provide reliable, durable, safe and innovative buses to our customers. And SCR technology, with its near-zero emissions, was the environmental choice to meet these new standards.
Thomas Built Buses and Daimler are committed to the very real goal of reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in commercial vehicles. We've worked hard to meet the EPA 2010 emissions requirements, while maintaining maximum fuel efficiency and engine performance. From our proven engine technology, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), to our hybrid poweredand compressed natural gas (CNG) alternative powered buses, we believe that, with greener and cleaner options, we can all make a difference.
