Hybrid bus or truck chassis from the DeLorean 80 bus Shown b
Ready to run hybrid electric bus chassis - just spawn it in and drive - the hybrid system looks after itself - then build your creation on top :)
Driving a bus is a lot of fun and I use the vehicle behind for 'safe zone' type evacuations, as well as other land based rescues, or sometimes just delivering people brought in by boat, to the nearest medical facility as these are sometimes quite a long walk from airport or boat dock.
Vehicle drives very nicely - left hand on the A/D buttons and the right hand on the 'Down' arrow key.
Vehicle is raised on its wheels as compared to the standard bus and is 4 wheel drive for improved off road ability.
Press '1' to set auto drive and steer with the A/D keys and cut the power with the 'Down' arrow key - left/right arrow keys operate the brakes if you need them.
When manoeuvring, leave autodrive (key 1) off and use the up arrow key to accelerate - this also provides extra acceleration when autodrive is on.
The efficient twin cylinder generator is fully automatic and looks after the hybrid battery by itself.
Unlike boats, road vehicles have large variations of engine load and vehicle speeds so hybrid propulsion has a greater chance of saving fuel over mechanical transmissions - HOWEVER for anyone wanting to drive a conventional transmission, there is my Leyland Titan bus with a six cylinder engine and five speed automatic transmission - again with the 'autodrive' driver assist system that is featured on this vehicle.

Google 'DeLorean DMC 80 Bus' for more information on the real vehicle that this project is based on.
