While significant research efforts are underway to develop and to demonstrate innovative electric bus concepts across Europe in real life contexts, trolleybuses offer a stable technology that is proven even in unfavourable conditions. Also, trolleybuses are improving their image due to attractive new vehicles being developed by mainly medium-sized European manufacturers. At the same time, very concrete research needs are emerging from a stakeholder consultation process that the TROLLEY project is currently completing with the aim of developing a Trolleybus Innovation and Research Agenda in order to exploit the high potential of advanced trolleybus systems as a readily available technology to support the implementation of European transport policy. Results of this stakeholder consultation will be presented on 12 March 2013 in Brussels by the TROLLEY project outlining research and innovation areas that should be considered by the European Union in future research, innovation and demonstration programmes. You are also welcome to join the subsequent round table discussion and the networking reception in the evening.
