FROM FAST LANE TO BUS LANE

摘要

It's not often that a technology developed in the high-octane world of motorsport filters down to the lurching buses that stop-start their way around the streets of London. But that's what's happened with an electric flywheel which was originally developed by Williams Formula One and proved on the race track by Audi and Porsche. The system will be fitted to 500 buses in the capital over the next two years, generating predicted fuel savings of 20%. The flywheel is a tremendous example of concerted efforts by bus companies to reduce day-to-day running costs and ultimately cut the amount of CO. their vehicles emit in cities.
