BERLIN (AP) - DaimlerChrysler AG said Tuesday it has received an order for 500 hybrid electric buses from New York City's transport services, with deliveries to begin next year.
The German-U.S. automaker's Commercial Buses North America division is to deliver 216 Orion VII buses to New York City Transit and 284 to the Metropolitan Transport Authority. The company, which described the order as the largest to date for hybrid buses, declined to disclose the value of the deal.
DaimlerChrysler said the diesel-electric buses will be delivered starting in the second quarter of 2006. The latest order is the third from New York for hybrid buses, with a total of 325 vehicles previously ordered, it added.
