Recently we posted
pictures and details of the BYD battery powered double decker for
London.
Below are pictures of
the BYD articulated single deck vehicle that was also on display at
Kortrijk.
The same eBus concept
has been applied to this vehicle as the double decker giving a
battery powered vehicle capable of carrying large numbers with the
ability to load and off-load quickly. The bendi-bus concept is unpopular in the UK but many other countries in Europe continue to embrace the
idea without hangups about road safety.
This vehicle can receive a quick charge via a pantagraph located in the rear section
Other bendi-buses on
display included the Volvo 7900 Hybrid (below)
The Sileo (below) is manufactured in Germany and is 100% electrically powered
