School electric bus

In the U.S., children will now travel to school by electric buses. The first school electric bus has already appeared in California. In the near future, city fleets will begin to replenish this technical novelty. Most importantly, the electric bus will reduce environmental pollution in the cities of the state, as well as save a lot of fuel. According to rough estimates, an electric bus will save 72 liters of fuel per flight.

The school's electric buses have the same exterior and interior design as regular school buses powered by combustion engines. Unfortunately, so far, electric buses are almost twice smaller than ordinary buses, but it is possible that in the near future there will be classic for American schools "batons". So far, electric buses are designed for only 25 children. Such a bus is ideal for small cities, but it can hardly cope with the number of children in the metropolis.

About when exactly electric buses will flood the streets of cities in the United States, nothing is known. As for the stations of additional charging of electric buses, according to the project of electrification of public transport of the USA, they will be located near schools and from the stations where buses start and end their working day.

It is worth adding that the electric buses were installed batteries of the latest generation, which allows public transport to work almost a third of the day without additional charging of batteries.
