摘要：	Last month's Euro Bus exhibition (see review, pp16-17) was only my second time attending, but the feature that stuck out was the number of exposed drivetrains on show. Although remembered as a hall full of shiny, whole vehicles, the event this time bristled with bare chassis, silvery boxes and nets of heavy orange cables. It was fascinating to see these normally-hidden components up close on the Scania, Equipmake and ADL stands, just as it is captivating to look into a transmission with the case cut away. Why don't we see such displays at UK truck shows? First, their presence indicates the importance of battery-electric powertrains to the bus and coach market. Internal combustion engines were nowhere to be seen at the NEC. Although full-electric propulsion is being introduced into goods vehicles as well, public transport is clearly ahead (thanks no doubt to government subsidies).
