Hybrid technology in public transport - conference
19 September 2001 - 19 September 2001
An international congress on innovation in passenger transit systems aimed at environmental improvement, sponsored by the European Commission, will be held in Karlsruhe, Germany on 19 and 20 September.
The 'Prosper' conference (promotion of pollution control and energy saving by the use of hybrid power systems) aims to disseminate the results of development projects in hybrid propulsion technology, the objective of which is to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in urban passenger transit vehicles through increased efficiency and effective brake energy recovery, and to provide a low cost alternative to electrification.
The programme includes sessions on hybrid systems, the potential European market for multi modal light rail vehicles, modern flywheel technology for public transport and gas turbines.For further information, please consult the following web address: http://www.prosper.ttk.de(opens in new window)
