I thought the ES's into AR are just short term until the EZ's arrive and then the ES's move into TH when that's sorted? Quite possibly, I'm just thinking of the logistics of type training all the 243 drivers on the ES buses and then having to do it all over again in 6 months on the BZL's when you could just sent the BZL's south. Then again they've effectively done that at GY with the T buses and how the HV's You would still have to do the training if the BZLs went down south |

I assume once a driver gets used to how a completely electric bus handles compared to a hybrid or diesel, the correct way to plug in the charger, reset the bus, adjust to layout of instruments etc the type training on the BZL should be fairly similar (though I read somewhere the BZL has a "two speed box" so might be quicker)... Anyways back to transfers ES86, 156 > AR |

Anyways back to transfers ES86, 156 > AR Whilst I haven't ridden many BZLs here, I've ridden many Volvo 7900 Electrics in Sweden which also have the two speed box. Apart from a slight change in pitch it's barely noticeable, and from a passenger view at least doesn't seem to have a large effect on performance compared to a normal EV. |
