I think HEV's are the way forward when it comes to mileage range more so for routes that are long distance like the X21, I do wonder how an Electric Bus would cope with the demands of a route like the X10 which is something that has not been tested.
Perhaps an EV upgrade, be it BEV or HEV, would be ideal for the X10. There's less parts to go wrong!
