The Fantastic bus was tested by the enthusiasts of the technical university of Delft near Rotterdam. The car was not the embodor of the idea of a land flying Dutchman, but it was a practical goal for its creators to design a fast and environmentally friendly vehicle for long-distance long-distance routes. The main proponent of the project was a 64-year-old Professor of Wubbo Ockels, who gathered like-minded people around the idea of the most convenient and safe means of travel today. This means that each passenger should get maximum comfort at the level of luxury cars with convenient Internet connection, satellite TV, with individual protection of airbags. And to be absolutely autonomous so as to be able to enter or leave the bus without interrupting anything. The result of the work was 15 meters of solid carbon fibre and glass with opening sixteen doors-"wings" mounted on three pairs of wheels. Superbus S3 is designed for 23 passengers and is powered by a 530-strong electric motor. The flight control system of 750 sensors not only monitors the situation in every passenger area (whether the seat belt is fastened securely closed), but also responds to the road environment, preparing at any moment to assist with emergency braking before the obstacle. Such a sensory security system is necessary at least because the design speed of Superbus S3 is 250 km/h. To ensure high maximum speed to call the electric motor with a rated capacity of 408 litre. , although short (up to 1 minute), it can be doubled to 816 litres. It is only a pity that the volatile Dutchman's course, despite the impressive mass of 9.5 tons, is only 210 km, after which it will need to be recharged. How real the project of the superbus electric motor bus can be learned early: by the design of the creators, the car should go into a series in 2015. Potential investors should know that the cost of each machine is estimated at $13 million. The euro. Moscow also designs electric buses, the first of which may appear on urban routes, almost simultaneously with the planned start of the "flying Dutchman."
