Hybrid script:
From 0-40 KPH, the torque converter has been replaced with an electric drive. The engine RPM does nothing, yet. In future versions, I will incorporate an battery and if the battery charge fells below and certain rate the engine rpms will build up the supplement the charge.
From 40-80, the bus is in blended mode, both of the components operating together. If the bus is on low, then the electric will do much of the acceleration.
80-up the bus is in mechanical mode.

Features
- Incorporate some form of hybrid system. from 0-32 kph, the battery is controlling the acceleration. From 32 to 80, there's an blend between the two, and from 80 kph and upwards, the system is full mechanical. As it stands now, the bus is set on its lowest setting. In future versions will incorporate more settings into the mix as well.
- add throttle regulating to simulate the smooth acceleration of an hybrid with 5 different performance settings.
