ELECTRICS SURGE AHEAD

摘要

Urban bus electrification moved into top gear at exhibitions in Hannover and Berlin in September where all eyes were on pure electric models that promise to cut air pollution and reduce noise in congested city streets. There were electric buses as far as the eye could see at the bus sections of both German shows, while diesels and gas-powered buses were relegated to the rear seats. Daimler and MAN chose the two-week trade fair in Hannover to showcase two of the most important battery electric single-deckers to enter the market for years, with bold mission statements from the senior executives of both companies.
