It's far better to run them on h2o2 plus whatever, at zero NOx and
nearly zero CO2.

Comparative air contaminant emissions based on the CBD duty cycle (in
g/km)

Detailed calculations of the pollution and Co2 emissions are on this
document
http://www.tbus.org.uk/calculations.doc

e.g.

CO2 Emissions Range (NYC Duty Cycle)
"Clean Diesel" 4,469 - 4,563 g/km
Hybrid Diesel-Elec 2,500 - 3,438
Trolley (UK grid) 1,744 - 2,189
Trolley(renewables) 0

So even using current electricity supply, they produce less than 50%
of the Co2 emissions of Diesel.
Potentially, they are zero emission vehicles.
