NJ TRANSIT GAINS ADVANTAGES WITH ELECTRONIC ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

The second largest public-owned transportation system, New Jersey Transit Bus Operations of Maplewood, New Jersey, is finding that the use of electronic engine and transmission control systems has many benefits. Included among these benefits are reduction in emissions, smoother shift, better acceleration, quieter engine running, longer periods of operation before a tune-up is needed, better response to power demands, and optimization of engine and transmission performance. These improvements have led to increased ridership and compliments as opposed to complaints from riders.
