TenCate, the supplier of the carbon fiber, reports that it is designed to compete with the cars and the trains by rendering comfortable, demand-dependent and point-to-point transport and thanks to high speed. The electrically powered Superbus can ferry 23 passengers with ease and consumes as much energy when driving 250 km per hour as a normal bus at 100 kilometers per hour.
