https://ncmm.org/zwauxv23r Tramadol Where To Buy Uk Sweden Volvo Buses is developing a plug-in hybrid bus capable of covering long distances silently and exhaust-free on electricity only. Three buses will be tested in Gothenburg, Sweden, supported by the European Union.

Volvo’s highly efficient parallel hybrid system has sold more than 250 hybrid buses, which are reducing fuel consumption by up to 35%, thereby reducing energy consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions by an equal amount.

https://www.worldhumorawards.org/uncategorized/fphyfj1p “Reducing the total global energy consumption is the most important measure ,” said Volvo Buses CEO Håkan Karlsson. “The bus is already today clearly the most energy-efficient vehicle for public transport and our hybrid bus will accentuate its position as the best environmental option.

Cheap Tramadol Cod Overnight Supported by authorities including the Swedish Energy Agency, Volvo’s new hybrid bus is essentially the same Volvo hybrid bus as today, where the brake energy is recycled and utilised by the electric motor. But, with a new type of battery and charging equipment it will also be possible to charge the battery via the electricity network.

https://tankinz.com/337s0isdlw The concept is based on placing battery charging stations at the end stations of the bus lines. By charging the battery there for five to ten minutes, it could significantly extend the time the bus is able to operate only on electricity.

It can be controlled so the bus operates on electricity in densely populated areas or in particularly sensitive environmental areas, while the diesel engine can be used on other parts of the route.

https://worthcompare.com/2rob8ezua0 Volvo Buses expects to have a prototype bus ready for testing in 2011. The next step will be taken in autumn 2012, when a field test will commence in Gothenburg using three chargeable hybrid buses. The buses will be put in service with passengers.

On Friday, the project was granted a subsidy of €1.4m from the EU’s program supporting environmental ventures, Life+.

https://fotballsonen.com/2024/03/07/ofia5vp80y5 “It is important to the environment we are able to develop new energy-efficient solutions as rapidly as possible,” says Ulf Gustafsson, head of public affairs at Volvo Buses. “We have the opportunity to succeed because we are capitalising on the collective expertise of companies,  organisations and authorities, and they are jointly investing the funds required.”
