Écolobus: electric transit




by Alain G » 30/09/09, 16:45

In Quebec there is transport with an electric bus vehicle that has been in operation for 2 years.

* Its maximum speed is 33 km / h
* It can drive autonomously for 100 km / 12 hours
* Its recharge time is 8 hours
* It can hold up to 10 seated and 10 standing passengers
* It consumes the equivalent of $ 3,25 CDN of electricity per day

This project is part of an integrated travel management program in Old Quebec aimed at:

* Reduce motorized travel
* Increase travel on foot and by public transport
* Reduce noise pollution and vehicle exhaust
* Improve the quality of life of residents and visitors

It had to be modified to climb a very steep slope in old Quebec.

Stepping behind sometimes can strengthen friendship.
Criticism is good if added to some compliments.
