Double End Steering

A bus with only one direction: forwards, even when it is being driven backwards.

A two-way operation sounds relatively trivial but, in fact, the concept is unique. These buses were developed together with COBUS Industries and currently transport tourists in the gorgeous Mont Saint Michel, on the coast of Normandy, in France.

01

Design

An innovative design concept based on a wooden structure: exterior lining and seats in teak, headlights with LED technology (the most expensive headlights in the world) and positioning of the exterior mirrors.
02

Functionality

Driving cab at each end, fully functional at both ends, so that the vehicle does not have to turn around.
03

Technology

Rotation direction reversal of the automatic transmission, allowing travel in both directions at the same speed.
