  • Shanghai Super Capacitor Bus This Sunwin SWB5115GP trolleybus, minus trolley gear, is running under battery power on Shanghai route 11. Instead of relying on constant contact with an electrical source, it stores all its power in capacitors, which are recharged by means of an extending platform from the roof, making contact with strategically placed recharging gantries along the route. Inconsiderate motorists who park under the gantries are not welcome! ©Andy McClelland
