Revolutionizing Public Transportation: The Innovative Electric Wheel Propulsion System

The video discusses a Dutch inventor's innovative bus technology that aims to reduce fuel costs by 60% and emissions by 80%. The system uses a diesel generator to charge batteries powering electric motors in the wheels. Tested in the Netherlands, the technology promises significant diesel savings and smoother rides. Despite slow manufacturer adoption, cities like Utrecht and Rotterdam are interested. The concept, inspired by early 20th-century ideas, is now viable due to advancements in power plants.

In what situations does the new propulsion system make the greatest savings?

What historical figure first conceived the linear drive wheel, and what was needed to make it viable?
