Electric vehicles, zero emission motorbikes and even innovative bicycles tend to hog the 'green' limelight. But, buses with their much higher passenger carrying capacity, have the potential to contribute to a greater degree of sustainable efficiency. The green approach can even be holistic, because of their(buses) status as a definitive component of public transportation. Taking all of these into account, industrial designer Francesc Gasch has conjured up the hybrid powered B2us, which is a low emission public bus, proposed for the renowned city of Barcelona.
B2us
All said, the most striking attribute of the B2us will be its utilization of OLED (Organic LED) technology. The element of novelty will become much more apparent, as the side facades would display information (on the inside) regarding location of the bus and seat availability. According to the designer, the OLED panels will allow imaging of complex surfaces with significant efficaciousness. So at the end of the day, we will have an aesthetically simple, eco friendly bus that accentuates the sustainable facet of public transportation as well as that of the overall city.
