No, but Vossloh Kiepe (the manufacturer of the Xcelsior trolleybus' electrical systems) has such a system, which they call In-Motion Charging. I've said before that I think XTE40s using this system would be an ideal fit for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From previous orders they've never piggybacked anything. If they have; it was before my time. Also, the last batch of trolleys was 2006 for the 40' and 2009 for the 60'. So you'd think they'd rebuild them before ordering new. Also FIFY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it was deliberate, to distinguish a hypothetical Xcelsior using Vossloh Kiepe's In-Motion Charging from either a trolleybus with a smaller APU (XT40) or a battery-powered bus with quick charging at terminals (XE40). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really know how to associate with people properly. Anyways.... I like the technology, of in motion charging, would be interesting to see that used on the 9, to see an extention to Brentwood Station without the expensive extention of trolley wires, and drivers would simply be detaching and reattaching poles at Boundary Loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Friend of mine saw the E-bus at UBC on a 33. Immediate search finds it's likely paired with 9544. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like a mark 1 pair. The E-bus will replicate a block already being done by another bus and will follow it in service until the end of the run.

I'm guessing it's because of the reliability issues, combined with the fact that it can only do 7-8 h of service between charges? This way, full service is maintained whether it's running or not, and if it dies, there's another bus there to take on its passengers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neopasturquoise Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 It picks up passengers* (since it’s paired up with another bus, there are chances that the BYD skips the stops and leaves the passengers to the other bus.) and you can view my video which is uploaded on my youtube channel: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
