eGen Flex®

eGen Flex® electric hybrid provides revolutionary capabilities and fully electric propulsion for up to 50% of route depending upon duty-cycle, without the added infrastructure requirements of full EV. Our advanced technology provides a fully electric mode with geofencing capabilities when entering zero-emission zones or depots, reducing emissions and noise levels, specifically in highly populated areas.

“After eight months in use, IndyGo is very pleased with the flexibility Allison Transmission’s eGen Flex buses offer, allowing us to reduce our carbon footprint in some of the most densely populated, high-air pollution pockets of our city. This technology represents the next step in our efforts to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, enhance quality of life for residents and do our part to protect the environment.”
