This bus allows traffic to pass underneath it while driving on the roads. The solar powered, electric bus will be trialled by the end of the year in Beijing.
The 3D Express Coach has a hollowed out bottom that allows normal traffic to pass underneath.
"The bus is designed to straddle two lanes at a time to let traffic pass underneath both when it is stopped and when it is in motion. In fact, it is more like a massive double-wide tram than a bus, with a fixed route and physical connection to the city’s municipal power grid.
Powered by electricity and solar energy, the zero-emission 3D bus can reach speed up to an average of 60 to 80 kilometers an hour, faster than current buses and can link well with the bus stations and overpasses while not affecting the traffic"
Perhaps a possible solution to China's month-long traffic jams?
