Fashion for 'green' reached and to Enschede. Last week we received from the Councillor for Transport in the municipality of Enschede, a letter printed in ink on the so-called organic. " groeipapier " (ie, paper label, which can be buried in the ground, and water and grow from the plants), entitled " lijn gaat groen 2. Ga mee! ", which means more or less "line 2 puts on the green. Join us. " Before turning to what's going on, even back to the same letter: paper and ink, and label may be. But the envelope in which the letter was packed, and was bielutka grubiutka: have to be expensive and probably ate a little tree ;) Ot a little paradox;)
Since the beginning of 2011, line 2 (eg runs through my district) has been enriched by two hybrid buses . These buses will be in the assumption: environmentally friendly, economical and quiet. For 2 years they will be tested in these categories on Line No. 2, he told see how hybrids behave with intensive daily use and Coby people are able to see them and express your opinion about them. If the test proves positive, the municipality will consider introducing more buses with the "innovative technology". So far, in the event of sudden disruptions in the functioning of hybrid Connexxion (Dutch service company dedicated to public transport) has prepared an additional "normal" buses, which will be substituted in order to minimize the related inconvenience.
hybrid buses are nothing new to us, but we briefly described what was going on:
- combination of a silent electric motor with a relatively small conventional diesel, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions and save on fuel;
- diesel engine is turned off as often as possible, and if the work is at a constant speed;
- diesel engine drives an electric generator instead of wheels;
- created during braking (braking electric motors that work at that time as power generators) energy is stored in batteries and reused for acceleration.
So are superprzyjazne environment.
At first glance, however, beyond the outward appearance (blue elements on top, red bottom showing "the most important buildings in Enschede) and less noise (mostly) in the middle, hybrids are not very different from the normal buses. Their external noise seems sometimes even be worse than the noise produced by other coaches. And something about this, we can say is when you shut down one of the roads, line 2 runs beneath our windows, so można bawić się w "zgadnij który autobus właśnie przejeżdża" :P Poza tym jazda nimi powinna być wygodniejsza i przyjemniejsza. Nie wiem - jeszcze nie testowałam.

Dlaczego Linia nr 2?
Gmina Enschede świadomie wybrała trasę Deppenbroek-Roombeek-Helmerhoek. Powód? Ano hybrydy idelnie to blend with modern architecture Roombeek district, which is slowly recovering after a fireworks disaster , 2000. By Roombeek new route also runs a bus from which the municipality is very proud of her and likes to boast at every opportunity. But Roombeek another time.
So ... letter that we got turned out to be a part of the campaign of new hybrids. A letter is already in the pot and tapping the ground sprinkled with water, so unfortunately it is not going to present, but in the end I throw a movie showing how a hybrid works;)
