ScienceDaily (Oct. 17, 2011) — Electric and hybrid vehicles will be conquering the cities: cars, bicycles, buses and trains. This is why new ideas are in demand for individual and public transportation. In "Fraunhofer's System Research for Electromobility" researchers are coming up with solutions for tomorrow's mobility.

The AutoTram® is as long as a streetcar and as maneuverable as a bus. It doesn't need rails or overhead lines because the "BusBahn" rolls on rubber tires and simply follows white lines on the street. Another plus is the fact that people waiting at stops will not have to smell exhaust fumes in the future when a bus stops and starts again because tomorrow's means of transport will be using electricity, hydrogen or a combination of various regenerative drives.
