GKN plc and the Go-Ahead Group have agreed a deal to supply a flywheel-based system to London buses that it is claimed will improve fuel efficiency by around 20%. GKN plc and the Go-Ahead Group have ...

A fuel-saving flywheel first developed for use in Formula One racing cars, but abandoned before it could be used due to a regulation change by the sport's administrators, will soon be retrofitted to a ...

FlyBus has stated today that a prototype version of its Optare Solo Midibus will start testing soon using a hybrid powertrain that unlike gas-electric or diesel-electric models makes use of a Ricardo ...
