Dayton has upgraded its trolleybus fleet with "dual-mode" buses that operate on the existing wire but can run on battery power off-wire. The batteries are recharged while the trolleys are running on the wired part of the network. It's a good, modern solution to keep the network up-to-date and makes use of the existing infrastructure without having to string more wire up in suburban areas.
