A few years ago, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore tested a self-driving shuttle that would carry passengers around the campus and is now testing an electric shuttle with a driver, but it takes only 20 seconds to complete the charge The 22 vehicles known as the NTU Blue Flash Flash Shuttle are based on the existing Bluetram shuttle made by BlueSG, a subsidiary of Bolloré Group's Blue Solutions.
Although the shuttle has a rechargeable battery pack that travels 30 kilometers (19 miles) long if needed, it's primarily for battery backup and is powered primarily by a supercapacitor that can operate in 20 seconds The airport shuttle bus stops for charging The charging is done via a retractable connector that travels 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) after each charge, so the station spacing corresponds.
Blue Solutions says the shuttle is much less expensive to install and operate than traditional electric vehicles because it does not require infrastructures such as rails or overhead wires.A full range of charging stations is reportedly installed in weeks .
The shuttle is undergoing a two-year test that officially started on Tuesday.
