<strong>New</strong> <strong>Flyer</strong>’s Role in Alt <strong>Fuel</strong>s Development<br />
With innovation, there is always risk<br />
But we try to balance the risk with the potential benefit –<br />
which is not always immediately apparent<br />
− e.g hybrids brought forth electrical accessories which provide<br />
further benefits – better fuel economy – outside of the basic<br />
propulsion architecture<br />
