Chinese market and Chinese OEMs emerging as major forces in the market. European OEMs increasingly developing global competitiveness and will benefit more in long term Distinct trend of vertical integration and Tier I supplier partnerships seen to emerge among Western and Chinese OEMs respectively. Uncertainty in government funding and incentives favouring hybrid and electric transit buses to continue. This is necessitating recalibration of business models. Growth in parallel hybrid adoption driven by price sensitivities in both developed and developing markets and economies of scale gained from truck market. Providing market-specific solutions and maintaining good relation with local transport authorities will be key to win in these markets. Developing global product platforms with flexible architecture to meet local specifications will help to keep check on cost and respond quickly to competition. Price competitiveness of parallels will continue pulling the market towards this technology. This is gaining momentum as BAE and Allison are gravitating towards offering parallel hybrid solutions in their portfolios. This will bode well for the market as it will ensure focused technology and market growth and evolution. Ultra capacitors hold the potential to disrupt energy storage systems market and their superior power density can threaten expensive Li-ion technology. Li-ion and Ni-MH technology focused OEMs and suppliers must step up battery technology focused R&D to reduce prices faster than before.

With intense competition for urban space, transport planning has significant impacts on quality of life for citizens. The notion that mobility is about more than simply moving vehicles and people is recurring theme for researchers, planners and policy makers alike acknowledging the potential for mobility to transform cities into more sustainable, liveable areas.

  • Trends in the Development of Trolleybus Transport in Poland at the End of the Second Decade of the 21St Century

Abstract: Trolleybus transport played a changing role in Poland. Historically, these were both periods of dynamic development and rapid regression. The article analyzes the period from 2004 to 2018. An attempt was made to systematize and organize information on the development of trolleybus transport in this period. The available scientific literature as well as the economic, organizational and technological conditions for the functioning of trolleybus transport were analyzed. The analyzed period was undoubtedly a time of dynamic development of all three existing trolleybus systems in Poland. The structural funds of the European Union played a significant role in this, allowing to revitalize neglected and underinvested systems. At the same time, climate change has influenced global and local conditions in terms of the approach to transport in cities.

  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

    Fleet Archive 2020 15 March 2020 Repaints last week included Optare Solo M890/Optare 628 (NK61 DBZ) into “Little Coasters” livery. Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6004 (NK11 BHE) has also lost its branding for the “Red Arrows”, having been stripped of all vinyls, ahead of the introduction of new vehicles to this service in May. There were no fleet movements last week. 8 March 2020 Repaints last week included Mercedes Citaro 0350N/Mercedes Citaro 5278 (NK07 KPN) and 5279 (NK07 KPO) into the 2019 fleet livery. Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6143 (YN04 GKA) is no longer a float/reserve vehicle and now forms part of the main fleet allocation at Riverside. It has replaced former East Yorkshire Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President 6935 (X508 EGK) which has suffered defects uneconomical to repair. Float Optare Solo M890/Optare 636 (NK61 FMD) is now allocated to Percy Main to provide cover for the remaining “Little Coasters” branded Optare Solo repaints.
