Germany gets world’s longest bus


This bus is a three-section Auto -tram Extra Grand Bus which is 98 feet long and can carry over 256 passengers and doesn’t require any special training for its driver.
It was designed by Fraunhofer IVI and the Technical University Dresden, the bus is said to be as easily maneuverable as a normal bus and the Auto-tram Extra Grand Bus uses a computer to aid or direct the driver.
The system’s primary purpose is to ensure that the rear section of the bus precisely follows the front and middle sections at all times.
In addition to the sophisticated guidance system, the bus incorporates green technology in the form of a hybrid gas and electric engine that can travel five miles operating purely on battery power.

Now Try That For Size.
