Construction has begun on the first “Flybus” prototype vehicle, designed to demonstrate the viability of a cost-effective alternative to battery-hybrid buses by using flywheel energy storage. The Flybus system could deliver up to 20% savings in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions in stop-start city center operation.
