D40LF Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 All I can say is that I really had to check the date to make sure it wasn't from April 1. http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/bus-fuelled-by-biomethane-from-human-waste-launched-in-u-k-1.2842067 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I lost it when I saw the title of this thread. I still think it is quite ingenious though. The only thing is, what would the exhaust fumes smell like? I bet it has a Cummins ISP engine (Interactive Systems Poop edition or something like that).

MAX BRT Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 LOL its just a CNG bus, but the CNG comes from waste through anaerobic digestion. This has been going on in Europe for a while and is starting here as well. Awesome! http://www.fleetsandfuels.com/fuels/cng/2014/07/biocng-by-digester-for-grand-junction-ngvs/ This project has the best marketing (bus wrap) to get attention though!

Actually it is quite ingenious, if not a little disgusting, as people are looking into alternate fuels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Aw, I was looking forward to New Flyer introducing the XP40 in North America... Didn't I read somewhere that Nova was thinking of producing a fecal powered LFS? Seriously though, this is actually an interesting concept. I'm not sure this would drop in North America (I've got a million of them folks) but the concept is surely ambitious. And are they using an Enviro 300 as its vehicle of choice?

XN40 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Some refuse companies are using landfill gas for their lng and possibly cng powered trucks so this is not a new concept. It saves money for the refuse companies as they can use their landfills and not rely on big oil. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHarries Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Here in Bristol, England we had a single-decker that was powered by various waste. IIRC some of that waste was human. It ran, unsurprisingly, on Service 2.... Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
