RE: New technology in buses - Malarkey - 08 May 2015 Wrightbus to offer Stop Start Engine Technology as seen on some Hybrid Models from Q3-2016 in StreetDeck/Streetlite Range. http://www.route-one.net/industry/stop-start-coming-from-q3-2016/ RE: New technology in buses - Malarkey - 05 Aug 2015 Picked up a copy of Buses Magazine yesterday before going into Hospital, and there were some quite interesting Articles in it in relation to All Electric, Hybrid and other upcoming Technologies that are currently being tested across Europe. So to kick us off we have a 4 Page Spread from Volvo - "A Quiet Revolution" [attachment=7005] [attachment=7006] [attachment=7007] [attachment=7008] Moving on - "BYD All Electric Double Decker & Irizar i2e Trial for London" [attachment=7009] [attachment=7010] And Finally - "Lothians Hybrid Volvos" [attachment=7011] RE: New technology in buses - G-CPTN - 05 Aug 2015 An interesting read - thanks. RE: New technology in buses - Malarkey - 05 Aug 2015 (05 Aug 2015, 7:25 pm)G-CPTN An interesting read - thanks. The 4 Page one on Volvo was a very interesting read I thought, should test something like that out up here on the Sunderland Connect 700/701 for example when it comes to the time of replacing the Hybrid Solo SRs.

A very limited idea - fraught with danger for the vehicles underneath, whether the 'bus' is approaching or overtaking. RE: New technology in buses - Andreos1 - 04 Aug 2016 (03 Aug 2016, 9:34 pm)G-CPTN Quite! It's on tracks, so will struggle to overtake anything! No good for services that run in two's or three's.
