A Hino Blue Ribbon City hybrid diesel–electric bus. A hybrid electric bus is a bus that combines a conventional internal combustion engine propulsion system with an electric propulsion system. These type of buses normally use a diesel–electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel–electric buses.
An electric bus costs $1.5 million compared with $700,000 for a diesel bus; the electric bus has lower fuel and maintenance costs. Between charges, an electric bus can run about 225 kilometres (140 mi) in winter and 300 kilometres (190 mi) in summer; GO bus routes can be as long as 650 kilometres (400 mi).
Boston Neoplan DMA-460LF dual-mode trolleybus, operating in diesel mode (with its trolley poles lowered). A dual-mode bus is a bus that can run independently on power from two different sources, typically electricity from overhead lines like a trolleybus or from batteries like a hybrid bus, alternated with conventional fossil fuel (generally diesel fuel).

IC offers hybrid diesel-electric powertrains in the CE conventional school bus as an option. The buses provide a claimed approximately 40% to 65% [ dubious – discuss ] better fuel economy [ 22 ] [ 23 ] but cost about two and a half times more than a standard diesel bus ($210,000 versus $80,000).
Diesel–electric transmission is used on railways by diesel–electric locomotives and diesel–electric multiple units, as electric motors are able to supply full torque from 0 RPM. Diesel–electric systems are also used in marine transport, including submarines, and on some other land vehicles.
