to be powered solely on

electricity.

The crash barrier around the bottom of the bus will be able to absorb

low speed crashes into

the bus.

The air ducts at the front

and rear improve airflow

through the bus and cools the air inside

as well.

An automatic braking system will be in place

to apply the brakes when

there is an obstacle ahead.

The bus is able to seat up to 32

people and with space to

accommodate at least 10

standing up.

steadily increasing, making it

more expensive to

purchase.
