I used to drive buses, but mainly coaches ( National Express). I loved the job apart from the public. Saying that, most were ok 😁😁

We used to have electric buses in the 30s, they used this really clever system to reduce the weight of the buses and negate the risks of a battery fire! They hung wires above the streets and the buses could hook onto them manually to draw power, with refinements in technology the bus can connect itself at the push of a button, or even disconnect and reconnect automatically if you need to depart your lane! Awesome stuff, and no need to destroy the environment mining lithium and cobalt! Well worth investing in overhead lines on the busiest routes rather than having expensive batteries that will make the buses worthless after a few years.

Nice video!

When you press the ac button it will go on full blast as default, just press the left/right fan button to adjust the fan speed. When you press the middle (auto mode) button, it will run as heat (red) and vent (white) mode. If you press the ac button afterwards, it will run in cool (blue) and vent (white) mode. I pressed the ferry lift button once and it locked the bus up, wont move at all so dont touch it

They're electric versions of what Lea Interchange have on the 262 and 473,both of which are going to Go Ahead London in late March of next year.

How does the steering wheel feel on this ? In my garage we have the EE buses (BYD dennis one) It feels unnaturally heavy like it has 0 power steering. Overall for a new bus they dont drive great in my opinion, They look like an ADL but drive quite poorly, instances like your meant to glide over speed humps... no this bus lowers itself to a kneel position whilst in motion :) But as the person mentioned thats type training you. If this bus is made by the same people as the boris busses it should be better. The BYD busses look like a dennis, drives nothing like one. The busses we have feel like prototype vehicles very problematic for 20 plate and above busses with less than 100k on the clock

Rather the trainer than me using a foam extinguisher on an electrical fire.

They should have put the battery panel with a key, so only staff (driver, maintenance, etc) can open it. No jokes cos the interlock circuit isn't fully closed for the current to flow.

Was half-expecting the batteries to be exchanged rather than charged on the vehicle, with the offloaded batteries being charged at the depot. Mind you, the batteries would probably be too bulky for this to work

I type trained on these last month they're better to drive than the BYDs
