“A revolutionary new electric bus that operates without overhead wires will begin operating in Geneva next month.  The bus was developed by a public-private consortium including ABB Sécheron, the Geneva public transport authority (TPG) and SIG, the canton of Geneva’s utility company and supplier of electricity.  The articulated bus works on a flash system that allows it to be recharged in 15 seconds at every stop with an overhead device that delivers 400 kilowatts of electricity.   The vehicle is capable of storing enough energy to operate between stops, the consortium said.”
