Environmentally-friendly bus of the future
Nov 27, 2010
In the town of Twente (Netherlands), a group of university students UT Delft developed a prototype bus of the future, which once could carry 23 passengers at a speed of 250 km / h, while remaining absolutely clean. The presentation of this Dutch miracle technology that runs on battery power, to be held shortly in Germany.
Superbus, the so-called this futuristic bus, the shape of a limousine and a six-wheeled platform. Its body is made of ultralight carbon fiber. The bus is also equipped with air suspension, which automatically adjusts the illumination of a road. He also has four electric motor.
As befits a bus of the future, Superbus meets all international standards of comfort. Its interior has similar features with business-class airplane. Naturally, the cost of travel in this bus will be slightly higher than in the ordinary public transport.
At this point, the brainchild of inventor Wubbo Okkelsona and his team of engineers and students who have already held the first test. The maximum speed that could develop Superbus, is 80 km / h. However, the goal of developers - 250 km / h.
Development of this concept is supported by the Dutch government is willing to invest in the project from 7.5 to 8.4 million pounds. The country's authorities are interested in that as soon as possible to establish mass production of environmentally friendly buses.
