That's a nice bus. They have had a few busses here with hybrid drives, the same as the Tahoe hybrid with the electric motors built into the transmission. They actually used the same transmission. That would make me feel better about the reliability of the Tahoe if it's strong enough for city bus usage. I couldn't quickly find info on how Volvo trucks are accomplishing hybrid drive.
