Gardena Municipal Bus Lines Makes Buses 8 Percent More Fuel Efficient Using Electric HVAC

New Gardena Municipal Bus Lines (GMBL) hybrid buses featuring innovative all-electric heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are increasing fuel efficiency by 8 percent and lowering operating costs while providing 13,500 consistently comfortable rides on an average weekday.
The suburban Los Angeles area transit system operated by the City of Gardena is one of the few transit systems nationwide to feature all-electric HVAC systems on its 53 hybrid buses. Municipal leaders selected and installed the all-electric HVAC systems to reflect a city-wide commitment to increased sustainability, greater reliability and reduced energy and repair costs, and to adhere to forthcoming California Air Resource Board regulations.
In recognition of GMBL's commitment to operational and energy efficiency and sustainability, the city's Transportation Department received the "Energy Efficiency Leader Award" from Thermo King, a manufacturer of temperature control systems for a variety of mobile applications and a brand of Ingersoll Rand.
