Gas/electric hybrid vehicles tend to be pricier than their conventional counterparts, and many people still worry about the limited range of all-electrics. If you want to move away from purely ...

The KERS captures the kinetic energy that is normally wasted when the bus is braking and stores it in a steel and carbon fiber flywheel weighing 8.5 kg and spinning at up to 30,000 rpm. The energy ...

Are electric flywheel buses in Portland's near future? In stop-and-start bus travel, most of the energy used to get the bus moving gets wasted two blocks later when it brakes. Flywheels capture that ...

Earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, we heard about Porsche’s hybrid race car that garners energy from a flywheel, and now a consortium called Flybus has put that energy reusing technology into ...

A fuel-saving flywheel first developed for use in Formula One racing cars, but abandoned before it could be used due to a regulation change by the sport's administrators, will soon be retrofitted to a ...

GKN plc and the Go-Ahead Group have agreed a deal to supply a flywheel-based system to London buses that it is claimed will improve fuel efficiency by around 20%. GKN plc and the Go-Ahead Group have ...

FlyBus has stated today that a prototype version of its Optare Solo Midibus will start testing soon using a hybrid powertrain that unlike gas-electric or diesel-electric models makes use of a Ricardo ...
