Southern California’s Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is looking ahead to an electric vehicle future, and may have one or more of its hundreds of on-order compressed natural gas-fueled New Flyer buses outfitted for plug-in hybrid operation. Fleets and Fuels reports that OCTA is mapping out a path to hydrogen fuelled buses with the CNG hybrids providing one possible path.  The Authority has 377 CNG buses on order with New Flyer (about two dozen have been delivered) and could order 300 more in 2012 or so.
