Unique bus was released in China. Bye China's largest railway manufacturer, CSR Corp Ltd,
launched tests of its first train, which is capable of moving at a speed of 500 km per hour,
A car company from China Zhejiang Youngman presented the longest and most big bus world 25 meters long.
The longest bus in the world is capable of carrying up to 300 passengers at a time.
The model of this bus is called JNP6250G and has a top speed of 80 km/h.
According to the plan, the longest bus in the world will be used in Beijing and Hangzhou.
"The world's largest" This is how the Chinese authorities announced the launch of the JNP6250G Youngman, a 25-meter (13 more than normal buses), five-door, 300-passenger bus to be used for passengers in Beijing and Hangzhou.
The JNP6250G is capable of making turns with a radius equal to y regular bus. In China, where there are many large cities with a population of several million people, the authorities are worried about the increase in cars and the extremely congested road network.
The Youngman JNP6250G has two ribbed accordions, which oddly enough give the Megabus the flexibility and ability to go around corners. Inside, transport is quite comfortable, and also has an increased number of seats for the disabled.
Bus of record length AutoTram Extra Grand passes last test in Germany. The brainchild of the Fraunhofer Institute for Traffic and Infrastructure Systems is almost 30 meters long, has four steering axles and can carry 256 passengers.
The AutoTram was shown to the public for the first time this week in Dresden, where it is due to enter service shortly, so far in test mode. Beijing and Shanghai have already ordered the vehicle, which costs about $10 million.
Good news for defenders environment is that the bus can operate during the day mainly on electricity.
Says Institute Director Matthias Klingner: “ A lot of know-how has been invested in it. In practice, this is a very efficient computer. The innovation of the AutoTram record holder lies not only in its length, but most of all in its ability to maneuver like a normal 12-meter city bus.
It has no problems with maneuverability and stability, but we need to see how such a long bus affects the normal traffic in the city.
It combines the passenger capacity of a small train and runs on hybrid engine. Drivers do not require special licenses. The flexible bus is equipped with unique system computerized steering that directs the tires precisely in line with the front car. All these innovations significantly reduce the cost of passenger transportation. In the future it is possible to use this bus in tourist routes, and then the cost of a ticket to Spain, Italy, Bulgaria by bus will be equal to the railway option. Tourists will have a wider range of choices, which is good. AutoTram has a significant advantage over railways».
Although it is the longest bus in the world, the power record belongs to new series Liner, which is produced by China. This bus has 300 seats at 24.6 m. length.
As for the history of the so-called "accordion buses", for example, they were banned in London in 2009 after several accidents and accidents. London Mayor Boris Johnson tried to sell 31 buses (one of them pictured below), claiming they were dangerous, unreliable and tax evasion. Probably, it was the latter that was the most significant argument in the fight against bending buses. Many were eventually sold to Malta in 2011. According to The Guardian, Johnson said at the time: " These bulky and clumsy monsters are more suited to the wide freeways than the narrow streets of London. I'm glad to see them rear bumper at the time when they leave England forever».
Next to these caterpillars for transporting passengers, the 16.5-meter-long Ikarus-accordion seems like just a crumb. Clumsy, hefty cars can hardly fit on narrow streets, but they are not worth the price on the wide avenues and boulevards of cities with modern infrastructure, as well as on suburban routes.
Most long buses in the world are made of two or three parts, articulated with the help of "accordions". Max speed such machines - up to 90 km / h, which are achieved with the help of powerful diesel engines. And they can carry up to 350 people at a time.
It is convenient to ride on these buses in urban conditions, and for tourist trips such a bus, which is in the photo above, is more suitable.
