Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 2005 Neoplan AN460LF Dual-Mode Articulated Trolleybuses

Another fleet compilation for your viewing, this time, a recently retired fleet of buses, MBTA's 2005 Neoplan AN460LF Dual-Mode Diesel-Electric Articulated Trolleybuses.

These buses primarily ran on the Silver Line 1, 2 and 3 lines. I believe that this fleet of Neoplan artics were the only Neoplan Dual-Mode Articulated Trolleybuses in North America. These were replaced by a new order of New Flyer XDE60 "Xcelsior" Artics which were spec'd with a BAE Systems HybriDrive Series-ER hybrid system which allows them to run in Battery-Mode underground.

These buses were powered by a Detroit Diesel Series 60 EGR engine, Skoda Motors in trolley mode, and a Kaman Drive Generator(think of it as the transmission of sorts).

I hope you guys enjoy the video. Subscribe & stay tuned for more!!
