With the eGen Flex, Allison has created a solution that can automatically and seamlessly pass through “Zero Emission Zones” by transitioning between electric and diesel engine propulsion. “This product helps IndyGo achieve its goal to become a clean fleet or near-zero emission fleet,” said Inez Evans, IndyGo president & CEO. “As we move toward that goal, eGen Flex gives us a solution that will still provide the mileage range that a diesel bus would offer so we can also meet all of our service needs. This will help reduce our carbon footprint and meet that near- zero emission footprint we are striving for.” Through its partnership with GILLIG, IndyGo will be a lead fleet partner for Allison’s new electric hybrid propulsion product, demonstrating IndyGo’s commitment to reducing its dependence on fossil fuels, enhancing quality of life in their community and protecting the environment. *IndyGo, the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation, is committed to connecting the community to economic and cultural opportunities through safe, reliable, and accessible mobility experiences.
