Abstract :
Zero Emissions, non-polluting vehicles like Electric vehicles are top priority need to save world environment, limited fossil fuel resources and increasing problem in road transportation. Modern Electric Trolley Buses(ETBs) are suitable except their current collector systems i.e. pole adaptors system which creates many operational problems in comparison to fuel buses. An innovative design of Current Collector (ECC) based on single pantograph managing both overhead wires on single arm is developed for free connectivity and flexibility to ETBs without short circuit. It is helpful for electrification of public road transportation and eco-friendly system.
