Xoupir, Batmobile Inspired Electric Bus For Public Transportation

Xoupir is the new bus of the future. Designed by the Maverick designer, Charles Bombardier who created the robotic hockey referee, magnet propelled roller coaster and many others has come up with a Batmobile look alike electric bus. This makes bus riding something to look forward to.

Xoupir would be the futuristic city bus powered by wireless electricity. It would have tinted windows which changed with external conditions and have free WiMax ultra speed internet access. The best thing would be, you need not get a pass or buy a ticket to ride on board. Anybody can hop on to the bus and pay for the fare through their smartphone or a credit card. The bus would have something akin to an iPhone which would help the passengers to pay to a virtual account with only their thumb impression, reports The Globe and Mail

Xoupir is an electric bus which would run on induction coils hidden inside the roads. This would power the on-board battery pack which in turn powers the electric motors. The futuristic bus uses the PRIMOVE technology which allows energy to be transmitted between components buried underground and the equipment installed beneath the bus.

According to BBC, Xoupir is based on existing technology and the transport authorities may reap the benefit from such futuristic targeted technology. It would require changing roadways for dedicated transport at the municipal level. Xoupir would also serve as a ultra-high speed mobile WiMAX station reaching up to larger number of users. The roof of the Xoupir would be covered by the solar panels which would power the communication networks. The top would be embedded with linear radiators to cool the passengers inside by regulating the natural air flow.

Another important aspect is the smart glass which would change according to the external conditions. It would also have OLED screens which would use eye tracking technology to feature content based on who is looking at it. Xoupir would make mass transport more attractive.
