Next Stop: Bonus for Braking

With a view to helping big cities get a handle on their traffic problems while reducing fuel consumption, engineers are working on environmentally-compatible means of mass transit.

With its highly efficient ELFA hybrid drive, Siemens now has a leading role in hybrid bus technology
