New Tech Solar/Electric Bus Drives ‘Over’ Cars And Other Vehicles

The company, Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co has developed the ‘straddling’ bus concept (3D Fast Bus), able to transport in the region of about 1200 people at a time. But this is no ordinary bus. It runs over, or above, the rest of the traffic, while cars motorbikes and other moving vehicles travel underneath the bus. Sure, it runs at only 40 km/h, but again, it transports around 1200 people at a time. Actually, the concept makes me think more of a massive overhead, moving building, than a bus.
The new concept is reportedly also a major leap in saving fuel, saving over 800 tons of fuel each year, reducing the carbon emissions by more than 2000 tons each year. A district in Beijing, called Mentougou, is reportedly already planning route in excess of 180km, with construction beginning at the end of this year.
