Clean the air you breathe by bus!

First Test of LibroDuct

conducted in Eberswalde

The benefit of a catenary is that it is 18ft above the road out of harm’s way. It does not require a complex system to operate effectively and it is in place for any number of suitably equipped vehicles to use 24/7 for propulsion and battery charging.

The Libro Duct system mirrors the Multibus™ system in that both ‘home in’ on a simple catenary for an opportunity to connect, or disconnect whilst continuing their vehicle’s journey. The video says it all . A picture really is worth a thousand words

“When in Rome , do as the Romans do”. And why not? A different approach that has been in use for 15 or so years entails a modified catenary at specific points to allow the catenary to receive the roof mounted electricity connecting poles by way if an inverted ‘V’ profile catcher.

It works and it works well. The video explains it all so simply. From battery operation to mains electricity propulsion in a blink of an eye. The bonus is the trickle charge inherent in those overhead wires for the on board batteries to slowly charge in preparation for the next away excursion ‘off line’.

Trolleybus VS Battery Bus

Which One Is "The Future"?

 

The answer is both. As seen in Rome (or Bordeaux or Limoses and Zurich) the notion of In Motion Charging (IMC) is far from fantasy – it is fact. The systems in operation work well and achieve air purity, improved local health, passenger appreciation from silent operation along with operator satisfaction in their passengers comfort and acceptable overhead costs coupled with ease of maintenance compared to full diesel power alternatives in the city.

Hybrid Diesel can work in much the same way as illustrated with auto connect electric drive in Urbania and Euro VI fossil fuel or bio fuel operation in the suburbs or rural destinations.
