The subject fleet currently consists of forty-one (41) gasoline hybrid electric buses and six (6) battery and eighteen (18) compressed natural gas (CMG) buses. During the term of this agreement GTrans will be purchasing additional twenty-one (21) CNG buses and seven (7) battery electric buses, as a result, the quantity of gasoline purchased will be reduced over time.
