I hate getting behind a bus in traffic! The nasty, smelling, diesel fuel exhaust smoking up the road in front of me. It stinks, and pollutes the air around me. No wonder we have so much pollution in bigger cities that are filled with these pollution machines. Yet, how can we live without them? Easy, just ask Volvo. Volvo has created the Volvo 7700, the first hybrid bus that is promising major green delivery. The 7700 promises to reduce fuel consumption by 30% - a perfect solution to the rising fuel prices. In addition to the lower fuel consumption, the Volvo hybrid reduces the discharge of particles and nitrous oxides by 40-50% compared to the diesel bus. Hang on, cause it only gets better! Volvo has equipped these sweet little beauties to run as a parallel hybrid. Using the Volvo I-Sam hybrid system, the bus can be powered by the electric motor which is charged by the braking system, or the diesel engine which can be used separately or simultaneously. Thank you Volvo for sparing us from those nasty, smelly fumes.

环保公车【奇客】
我讨厌在交通拥挤时追赶着公车! 面前这台多污渍、有着难闻气味的柴油机实在是让我难以忍受. 它不仅散发着难闻的气味, 还污染我周围的空气. 毫无疑问, 在公车随处可见的大中城市里污染绝对少不了. 然而,我们又怎能没有公车呢? 很好解决的问题, 问问沃尔沃吧. 沃尔沃设计出了"沃尔沃7700"型公交车, 这是第一台确保绿色传送的混合型公车. 7700承诺降低30%的耗油量, 这可算是解决油价上涨问题的一个好办法. 除了低耗油量, 这款沃尔沃混合车型与柴油机公车相比, 还可以降低40%到50%的碎木料和含氮氧化物排放量. 继续期待喔, 因为它只会越来越好! 沃尔沃准备了一些美观的小配件使其驾驶起来具有并联式混合动力. 采用了沃尔沃I-Sam混合动力系统,7700型公车可以用由制动来充电的电动机来启动, 而柴油发动机既可单独使用,也可联合使用. 感谢沃尔沃为我们提供这款能让我们远离油渍和难闻气味的环保公车.
