Not sure if it has to do only with regulations in the American market making it less economically viable to do some improvements to the aerodynamics of urban transit buses than their counterparts in Brazil, which BTW is also a major export hub for buses to other 3rd-world countries.

The exposed flywheel reminds me those Tobatta tiller-tractors.

Is that the flywheel or a PTO? My guess it's the PTO, common on JD, IH farm equipment

The flywheel may serve as a belt-driven PTO too.




Notice the pulleys built-in to the flywheel?
