Aero front buses
 

On a recent trip to Turkey spotted this bus with a very different front end from the usual in the US.

Don't know the CdA numbers but I suspect it is lower than the average Greyhound bus.

check out those wheel openings, thats interesting....

Crazy! Smooth wheel covers, too!

I wonder why they chose that angle. It would have looked better if it matched the forehead.

Here's an intriguing (Bangalore, India) engineering tear-drop double deck concept.

bus
 

After a fatal bus rollover accident around here awhile back,I had to consider a low-floor bus with cargo trailer to get the C.G. down,and kill a bunch of the frontal area.
We've had articulated buses in the USA since 1951,so it wouldn't really be anything revolutionary.

You can get a sense of the height reduction,with no penalty to cargo capacity.

Luigi Colani has some pretty cool designs :)

The thing is, the back is where most of the drag is produced.

Yeah, how is that any better than this>

botsapper -- That Indian bus reminds me of my own motorhome design.

Along the same lines, the Chinese loves the Neoplan so much they had their automotive engineering departm...er, copying department work on it.
