It would put more strain on a already underpowered engine I would think.
The Streetdeck already is a Micro Hybrid. I can see why GNE purchased B9s for the Fab 56 and although they can achieve 7mpg with a bit of effort, they're 'overpowered' in a way for the Cobalt Clipper (although very nice indeed). Surely it would be more beneficial to hold onto the Cobalt B9s for a few more years until another route warrants a decker upgrade (perhaps some of the Stanley / Consett express routes or the Red Kites if they show good growth) then go ahead and buy Streetdecks.
