Abstract :
The paper deals with a new class of trolley buses and trams that do not need a catenary (the first nor the rails), but offer the same energy and environmental benefits of traditional electric traction, well above those offered by thermal traction. Starting from the analysis of mission, defines storage characteristics and quick charging specifics, proceeds to a cost-benefit analysis.
