Right place, right time
I finally managed to grab a half decent phone shot of an experimental electric-drive battery powered bus that is rarely seen on public roads.
RX15HSU is a 'Bristol Superlight' built by the Frazer-Nash Research company based in Farnborough, Hants. The bus was first registered on 28/08/2015 and I've been after a shot of it ever since!
Their concept bus is kitted out to B27D layout and weighs just 3.5 tonnes, its revenue weight listed as 4840kg. It carries a 1.0L engine which is used to recharge the lithium batteries and as such the bus is marketed as ultra low emission / zero emission capable.
I grabbed a shot of it when it was out on a demonstration run on 22/09/2016. And no, it was nowhere near Waterloo!
A collection of cracking photos of this bus in St.Moritz is here: www.fotoswiss.com/-/galleries/reports-reportagen/ebus-by-...
A 6-minute video of the bus in St.Moritz is here: www.enjoystmoritz.ch/index.php/2016/03/23/frazer-nash-bri...
