In August 2010, VIA Metropolitan Transit unveiled buses that are powered by diesel-electric hybrid technology.<ref name="viainfo.net" /> The 30 hybrid buses were put into service on VIA's express routes to serve daily commuters across the city. This set of buses follows the introduction of new vehicles powered by compressed natural gas, which were unveiled in May 2010. In the fall of 2010, VIA took delivery of three new buses that are powered by electricity from on-board batteries. These buses serve the Downtown core area, and are the first revenue vehicles VIA operates which have zero emissions.<ref name="viainfo.net" />
