Info (SP): Estos vehiculos fueron pioneros en las Islas Canarias, siendo los primeros híbridos en ponerse en servicio para el transporte publico. Estas 2 unidades propulsadas por Gas Natural Concentrado comenzaron en Global en 2003 pero no obstante siendo estos vehiculos urbanos y con menor potencia fueron retirados en 2004 y cedidos a Guaguas Municipales. Alli cubrían rutas llanas como la 1, 2 o 17, pero la vida de estas unidades en Las Palmas duraría muy poco. Tras negarse la empresa Disa a suministrar combustible a cocheras, como se acordó en un principio, Guaguas se vio obligada a retirar estas dos unidades en 2006. Permanecerían en cocheras durante mas de un año hasta que la empresa Vallisoletana AUVASA los adquirio en 2008 por un 10% de su valor inicial.
Info (EN): These vehicles were pioneers in the Canary Islands, as they were the first hybrid units to serve in public transport companies. The 2 vehicles were powered by compressed gas and they began service in Global in 2003, although their urban design and reduced power meant they would be withdrawn in 2004 and given to Guaguas Municipales that same year. There, they would manage routes on flat landscape such as numbers 1, 2 and 17, although their service in Las Palmas would be cut short. After the company Disa refused to supply fuel to their garage like they originally agreed to, Guaguas was forced to withdraw both these vehicles in 2006. They would be kept at the depot for over a year until they were bought by AUVASA, in Valladolid, in 2008
