| London Electrobus Company : ウィキペディア英語版 | London Electrobus Company The London Electrobus Company, was a bus operator in London that started in 1906 and had to close a couple of years later. The fleet of the company was powered by electricity and batteries, with the largest fleet of electric buses in the 20th century, making it a forerunner of today's electrical public buses that are experiencing growth in the early 21st century.〔 The company used a breaking-edge technology to power its buses and was popular amongst the public for the quiet and clean buses, although the batteries produced acid fumes which were less well received.〔(Google Books - New Scientist, 17 July 1986 )〕 It was the first double-decker bus operator to experiment with a roof on the upper deck.〔(The Fraud that Killed Off London’s First Electric Buses ) - Ian Mansfield, January 9, 2014 〕 At the peak of its success the company had 21 buses in operation.〔(Google Books - Old Buses )〕 However, it was forced to close in 1910〔(Google Books - Electric Vehicles )〕 following accusations of fraud. The vehicles were sold to Brighton Hove & District and continued in service for another six years.〔 Preview available online at (economist.com )〕 ==See also==
