Interesting. But they did not say if the bus actually removed more pollutants than it creates on its own. As cars (and busses) do have some serious wear and tear on wheels and breaks.
> According to tests, audited by manufacturer Pall, and being assessed by the University of Southampton, the bus removed approximately 65g of pollutants from the air and cleaned 3.2 million cubic metres of the city’s air.
- zelos 7y agoRemoving more than the additional pollution released due to the extra weight and energy usage during driving and manufacturing would be enough I think, given that the bus is going to be driving anyway.
- dazc 7y ago'...and being assessed by the University of Southampton' It's ironic that Southampton is a city full of buses that often seem to be empty and creating chaos on roads never designed to accommodate them?
- will0 7y agoHopefully Southampton can get it's shore power[0] sorted, the cruise ships idling are more a pollution problem than the busses. [0] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-50562113 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-50562113
