If run on commercially-available B100 biodiesel, the Hybrid’s CO2 emissions are cut by 90%. Using biodiesel can provide strategic fuel security for operators as well. Capable of travelling several kilometres on electric power alone, the Scania Hybrid chassis is fully-imported and can be fitted with a local body to the customer’s specification.

  • National Code of Practice
    I SEPTEMBER 2007 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE Retrofitting Passenger Restraints to Buses Prepared by Vehicle Design & Research National Transport Commission National Code of Practice for Retrofitting Passenger Restraints in Buses Report Prepared by: Vehicle & Design Research ISBN: 1 921168 04 8 2 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE: RETROFITTING PASSENGER RESTRAINTS TO BUSES FOREWORD The National Transport Commission (NTC) is a statutory body established by an inter-governmental agreement to progress regulatory and operational reform for road, rail and inter-modal transport to deliver and sustain uniform or nationally consistent outcomes. Following the research that was commissioned for the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) into the retrofitting of seatbelts for buses and coaches, as well as advice from the Bus Industry Confederation, it was concluded that the original guidelines (“Guidelines for the Voluntary Modification of Existing Buses and Coaches to Improve Occupant Protection”) needed to be revised. These guidelines were originally developed in 1994 by the National Road Transport Commission, the Federal Office of Road Safety and the Australian Bus and Coach Association. The NTC led the review and a Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee was involved in providing key input and overall direction on the review. A Code of Practice, which is intended to replace the original guidelines, has been prepared. It sets out requirements for modification of existing buses with the intention of improving occupant protection in crashes. The Code of Practice has been endorsed by the Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee and by Transport Agency Chief Executives after a period of public/stakeholder consultation. It was approved by the Australian Transport Council in August, 2007.

The Mumbai-Pune expressway Tand the Ahmedabad-Vadodara expressway – each nearly 100 km in length – are among the busiest roads in the country. Sleek air-conditioned coaches zoom across the fast lanes, hitting speeds of 100 to 120 kmph. Inside the coach, passen- gers can relax in luxurious pull-back seats, watching their favourite Bollywood flicks.

  • Buses – Global Market Trends
    2017 BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key Figures Extract from the study BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key figures In all regions across the globe, buses remain the most widespread public transport mode. Their demand goes hand in hand with several, mostly region-specific factors, including demographics, increasing mobility of people and environmental awareness, as well as public funding. Buses are comparatively to other transportation modes cheap and easy to use, since their use does not necessarily require the implementation of a specific infrastructure. This makes buses ideal vehicles for both short- and long-distance services. Based on the current developments, this Multi Client Study offers a comprehensive insight into the structure, volumes and development trends of the worldwide bus market. In concrete terms, the market study “BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS” includes: A look at the worldwide market for buses differentiated by region An analysis of the relevant market data including present and future market volumes Information concerning the installed fleet and future procurement potential until 2022 An assessment of current developments and growth drivers of the worldwide bus markets in the individual regions An overview of bus manufacturers including an analysis of the market shares, financial backups as well as a brief description of the current product portfolio and strategy outlook A list of the major production facilities in each of the regions including product range as well as production capacities Presentation of the development stage of alternative propulsions, their manufacturers and their occurrence worldwide The study is available in English from the August 2017 at the price of EUR 3,400 plus VAT.

    PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION Wednesday, 8 June 2016 (Extract from book 8) Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.

  • 2020 Zero Emissions Bus Forum Report and Key Findings
    2020 Zero Emissions Bus Forum Report and Key Findings FEBRUARY | 2021 Foreword It has been an incredible opportunity to work with our members Transport for NSW, Arup and L.E.K. Consulting to bring together local and global expertise in a virtual forum format in which we shared examples, case studies, best practice and lessons learned to inform Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) transition pathways for Australia and New Zealand. Through the ZEB Forum we considered the key questions that government and industry need to solve for in order to integrate ZEB fleets into transport networks in our region. This report captures and analyses what was shared at the UITPANZ ZEB Forum in late 2020 and offers key insights to power the way forward in our region. We have an opportunity to emerge as global leaders in the zero emissions technology and sustainable transport space. While in some ways we’re playing catch up to Europe and Asia, we also have an opportunity to leap ahead by investing in the latest technology and learning from the lessons of our peers from countries around the world including China, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Norway, the United States and Canada. This is the benefit of the global UITP network, where we can harness the expertise, lessons and case studies of members from 100 countries around the world, to inform the ZEB transition in our region and support the sustainable mobility agenda more broadly. I’m delighted by the proactive response of many state and territory governments in Australia, as well as the regional and national governments in New Zealand, to move towards an accelerated ZEB transition in our region.
