I worked at Volvo Heavy Equipment back in the early aughts. They had a presentation they showed us once where they thought they would be in 20 years. The idea was hybrid construction equipment by 2020s. I was surprised it would take that long, considering the Toyota Prius had been on the road for years by then.
But here we are now, mid 20s. Not sure about the construction equipment, but I think this bus is more impressive. Not hybrid, all electric even. Not often I get to say this nowadays, but sometimes it’s freaking cool to be living in the future.
