The '''[[DesignLine International|DesignLine]] Eco-Smart I''' is a battery electric bus built on the [[DesignLine EcoSaver IV|Olymbus]] / [[DesignLine EcoSaver IV|EcoSaver IV]] platform. The prototype, named Tindo (after the word for sun in the indigenous language of the Kaurna people of South Australia), is operated by the Adelaide City Council and has been heavily marketed as the world's first solar electric bus. The bus is not actually equipped with any solar panels, but is recharged using a solar photovoltaic system installed at the Adelaide Central Bus Station.
