Still Waters Posted September 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2017 An electric bus has broken a world record by travelling more than 1,000 miles on a single charge. The 40ft Catalyst E2 Max bus - designed by Californian company Proterra - went 1,102.2 miles on a testing ground in New Carlisle, Indiana. Cities around the world are looking to use more electric vehicles for public transport, to combat air pollution. Some experts believe the bus's long journey could be a breakthrough moment for electric vehicles. The previous record of 1,013.76 miles was set by a light-duty passenger electric vehicle 46 times lighter than the bus. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-41333063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
