Dutch Superbus. The Most Eco Friendly Bus
73We life in modern era and the people claimed to be more creative in creating something. This was related with technology. The more creative people and develop technology, they also must consider about the environmental issues. “Go green” and “global warming” are the main reason for them. Both of these issues become motivation for the company in creating eco friendly technology. We can see these in home appliances, electronic equipment, transportations and many things around us.
I don’t know what happened with this world if pollution is increasing with the number of the volume of vehicles produced every day. The road maybe looks complicated and filled by carbon monoxide. This isn't good for healthy. I think we know about this. I wouldn't explain the bad effect caused by the air pollution especially carbon monoxide. This time we can see how these issues put in the vehicle. Netherlands is developing environmentally friendly public transport which capable of carrying 23 passengers. This transport has a speed of 155 miles per hour or maximum speed 250 km/h on the energy stored in a single battery. It is capable of running over 210 kilometers. Wow, Curious? please continued to read....
This bus will be produced and marketed as the best solutions for congestion, pollution, and safety at the same time. This bus is the epitome of sustainable mobility. Who is the man behind this marvelous creation? Wubbo Ockels, the Netherlands' first astronaut as the designer of the luxurious automobile. Wubbo Ockerls is currently known as the professor of mechanical and aerospace technology in Netherland. This bus has length about 15 meters with 23 passengers. With the best privacy and supported by 16 vertical opening doors on each side of the bus (eight on each side). Dutch superbus is made entirely of carbon fiber and fiberglass and also supported by 300 kW electric motors fed by rechargeable batteries. With total output power about 800 horsepower from several electric motors. Personally I never find a bus using rechargeable batteries like this bus. So, I give my thumbs up!
Based the outer appearance, this bus has streamlined body. This is amazing project and hopefully this bus could accommodate the environmental issue. Dutch superbus is like a high -speed train with low energy consumption. Wow…. Only high technology can make this one. From the appearance, it looks luxurious like a limousine. For the present, there's no information about the fixed schedule to accommodate flexibility in high volume transport on demand. As we know this is a project and I believe the company serious in creating enjoyable vehicle for the passengers. But don’t worry, Dutch superbus has ability to travel on most roads and change its route on demand.
This project worth € 1,3 million, according to Antonia Terzi as a chief designer of superbus. He is also a former of BMW-Williams Formula 1 team principal. Superbus is an environmentally friendly vehicle to overcome the challenges of mobility, spatial planning, detailed service and environmental demands. Superbus also completed with high maneuverability technology, obstacle detection systems and formidable breaking power. Based on a BBC report, this vehicle will be on display in Dubai next month. When the superbus sold in the market? Just wait and see. I hope we can hear good news for this new transportation. Please enjoy the video below!

The World's Cheapest Car
I think the price of the car is expensive. For me personally, I can't buy kind of this car. But if we want something cheaper or affordable price, economical, simple design, cute and easy to drive. Maybe these cars are suitable for us. If we don't have enough money, we may can't buy a new car. But I present the collections of the cheapest new car in the world.The Evolution of Amphibious Cars (Complete With Pictures)
Amphibious car was created by the people to give us alternative for transportation. This was a great idea for someone who created this transportation first. For me personally this is like a great invention. When we have a dream to have unique car, this car is the best choice for us. I know we probably don't have this car, but I hope we can satisfy just read all this information inside this hub.Terrafugia Transition, A New Technology of Flying Car
There is a solution for the crowded street which couldn't accommodate millions car. I think this car also became a human dream. This car will release in 2011. Terrafugia, as a company in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA will release a new car. This car called Terrafugia Transition. The amazing of this car is it has wings. Of course, this car could fly on the sky.

Requirements for every country would be different depending on the transportation demands, landscape(such as flat, or hilly).Small economical cars have come a long way from the time I started driving in the 1950's. I have a small Chevrolet which is more economical, more powerful and more comfortable than a similar size car years ago. Without kids to haul around or much hauling of "stuff' it works out fairly well. However, a family person would need something bigger.
Hybrid vehicles are being used for public transportation but I do not know how successful they are.
When I read this hub title, I thought this is just a regular bus with bio diesel or bio something fuel. I would happy to have this bus as my regular transport rather than my own car.
That's an amazing bus, prasetio, thanks for bringing it to our attention. But I, personally, would be loath to travel on the same highway as a bus going 155 miles per hour - if it so chose. It would have to have its own private highway.
I wouldn't want to be the driver taking a corner with this bus, but WOW!!! is it cool :) I love the doors and wouldn't mind taking a spin it.
This DOES look like something an astronaut might have a hand in designing! Really sleek and modern. Will be interesting to see if this design is seen on the roadways worldwide anytime soon. Thanks for another great hub. You always keep us up to date on the latest things...smallest things...biggest things...most unusual things, etc. We are always in for a treat reading your hubs. Up, useful, and awesome!
Great hub Prasetio but I'm not sure I understand how this bus could mesh with traffic if it travel's that fast. Peace my friend! Tom
Awesome!
Thanks, Mentalist acer for coming to this hub. I have the same idea with you. This superbus should have own electrical charger somewhere in the middle in the city or it located spread in the are where the bus exist or along the route. It also used for another electric car. Have a nice weekend!
My friend, dahoglund. Thanks for share your story about your old car. It thought it still nice being driven until now. I am glad to know this from you. Some people around me have old car and it still running well until now. Chevrolet is one of tough car I've ever knew, I heard from some people as a Chevrolet fans. Superbus is a project and we don't know in the future. But in my opinion, we can see many kind of this car in the future. Thank you very much for coming. Cheers....

Hi, Peggy. Thanks for your compliment about me and all my hubs. I'm impressed with your comment. I am not really sure about this bus will be sold in the worldwide.

My friend, Tom. I know this could be a problem for the long vehicle like this. But I thought it would be acceptable for the US roads or Europe roads. But it could be complicated if this bus will operated in Indonesia. This bus could not run optimally. Thank you very much for dropping by. Take care!

That is a truly impressive bus. It is amazing that it can run on batteries and yest looks like a luxury vehicle. This is a great hub. Voted/rated awesome. Have a nice weekend. Love and Peace
This bus concept will do well in Europe, but maybe not in the U.S. Why? Litigation and lawsuits. Somebody will have a problem with the design, and sue because they're not able to get in or out easily. But this may have a chance in the limo market here. Thank you for sharing.
Incredible prasetio! It does look more like a sports car - quite sleek, and runs on batteries? I would be on it a minute! Great research and Hub! Rated up!

Looks like the Batmobile... awesome!
The electric bus is magnificent. I don't think some countries will love it that much at least in the bigger scale.
Thanks, The Jet for coming to this hub. I have the same idea with you. Outer appearance looks like BatMobile indeed. Cheers....
Hi, KenWu. I hope this project always show positive result and this vehicle really support our environment. I agree with you, we need the bigger one. But this was great project. Bravo!
Prasetio! That would make a nice bicycle trip bus. We need a bike rack on top. God bless nephew.
My uncle, Micky Dee. Nice to see you here. This bus so great with batteries as a energy source. For my uncle, this bus need a bike rack on the top. I'll design more beautiful for you. Thank you very much!
Your nephew, prasetio
Wow, prasetio, that is some cool bus. I can see it replacing buses on the streets here in the US only if they make it affordable - they'd probably use it instead of the buses they use for long distance driving. I don't think it could handle the crowds or demanding schedule or tiny streets in the city. Wonderful vehicle though, you have my votes for up and awesome!
Thanks, Erin for coming to this hub. I am glad you share your thought about this bus. I know this could be so difficult running in tiny street. At least this invention show how we try to solve the problem related with environmental issue. Your vote really appreciated, my friend. God bless you!

Prasetio:)
You've created another fascinating hub, prasetio! An environmentally friendly bus would be wonderful. I do wonder how easy it would be to get in and out of this particular bus, though. I hope that the creators use the knowledge that they've gained to create new versions of eco-friendly buses.
My friend, AliciaC. Thanks for dropping by. I hope this hub useful for us. I believe there are several researches to make this hub much better. ~prasetio
prasetio! WOW! IT'S OFFICIAL! The world will look like the movie "Blade Runner" soon! This is amazing! So happy you showed me this. I hope other places do something similar to help the environment. If they can make something that BIG run on a battery, there is NO excuse!!!!!!! The whole world should be doing this! Always love to read your articles......Voted up! G
Thanks, Gina for coming to this hub and share your valuable comment. I agree with you. The world so bigger with the existence of green technology. There's no more pollution in the street. We can take a deep breath freely. What a wonderful moment if we can ride a green car. Thank you very much for giving your vote. I believe God will repay your kindness. Cheers...
