Busscar trolleybus in São Paulo, Brazil Solaris trolleybus in Landskrona, Sweden Video of a trolleybus in Ghent, Belgium. A trolleybus (also known as trolley bus, trolley coach, trackless trolley, trackless tram – in the 1910s and 1920s [1] – or trolley [2] [3]) is an electric bus that draws power from dual overhead wires (generally suspended from roadside posts) using spring-loaded ...
a diagram of ZiU-9. The electrical equipment of the ZiU-9 had some minor differences from the ZiU-5. The power of the main motor was increased. The indirect resistor-based control system of electric current was slightly modified to deal with the increased power of the main motor.
The Electromote built by the Siemens & Halske company was a converted four-wheel landau carriage, equipped with two 2.2 kW electric motors, each of which transmitting power directly to one of the rear wheels using a chain drive. This was because a working differential was not available at the time. The voltage used was 550 V DC.
Three types of electric road systems. An electric bus (black) receives power from the road: (A) with three inductive pickups (red) from a strip of resonant inductive coils (blue) embedded several centimeters under the road (gray); (B) with a current collector (red) sliding over a ground-level power supply rail segment (blue) flush with the surface of the road (gray); (C) with an overhead ...

The enterprise was founded in Imperial Russia in 1868, [citation needed] but it began producing trolleybuses in 1951. [3]Trolleybus production by the Uritsky factory (ZiU) began in 1951, but the company's first model, the MTB-82d, was a refinement of a design first developed several years earlier, by the national government in Moscow in 1945–46, the MTB-82m (where MTB stood for Moscow ...
Boston Neoplan DMA-460LF dual-mode trolleybus, operating in diesel mode (with its trolley poles lowered). A dual-mode bus is a bus that can run independently on power from two different sources, typically electricity from overhead lines like a trolleybus or from batteries like a hybrid bus, alternated with conventional fossil fuel (generally diesel fuel).
