Climate change is the burning issue of our time. THIS BOOK IS YOUR GUIDE to an important part of the solution to Climate Change and its success through the provision of the correct local bus alternatives. The specification, development and product limitations of public service vehicles are at the heart of this book and your choices.

Compromise or calamity? The consumer's choice.

When it comes to the world's climate and public transport options, is diesel that bad? Are battery-driven buses that good? Is there another option to consider? Perhaps yes, by way of In Motion Charging (IMC) vehicles: the modern trolleybus.

The modern trolleybus is one possible solution. However, is it the answer?

How about combining Euro VI diesel for rural travel and 'in motion charging' (the trolleybus) for urban journeys in one vehicle? Does that make sense, and is it cost-effective?

Why spend £650,000 on one vehicle when the same capital outlay can provide seven or more hybrid trolleybuses and their infrastructure, plus resolve climate change concerns more expeditiously?

The resolution to climate change can be your choice. You can make it so. This book contains the facts to help you make an informed decision and be part of the solution. If you feel inclined to act, here is everything you need to know about how local bus alternatives can provide a long-term answer to climate change.
