Kleanbus Developed A Highly Advanced Modular Technology That Can Transform Any Conventional Combustion Engine Bus Into An Electric Bus

The British company Kleanbus developed a state-of-the-art modular electric vehicle platform that can convert any conventional combustion engine bus into an electric bus in as little as two weeks. The company also uses motors based on electromagnet technology, meaning they do not use permanent magnets, thus, these motors do not require rare earth minerals.

Kleanbus claims to collaborate with some suppliers in the development of the solution known as Repower Bus. They also claim that with this new technology, they can convert any bus, whether it is single or double-decker, into a fully electric bus at a cost that is one-fifth of what would normally be required. Watch the video illustrating how a regular bus is converted into a fully electric one.

To do this, they first scan the interior of the bus, then prototype, and subsequently develop a custom platform for each vehicle. After that, they design each piece of equipment to fit where the diesel engine was previously located. It would take less than two weeks to adapt a bus with a Kleanbus system after the specialized electric drive had been built and validated.

Kleanbus Has Several Partners In The UK To Bring The Repower Bus Project To Life As Soon As Possible

On the project website, it is possible to see that Kleanbus has partners such as Zemo Partnership, an organization existing to accelerate the shift to zero-emission mobility in the UK. Advanced Electric Machines (AEM), responsible for providing an eco-friendly electric powertrain that will help achieve electrification without using rare earth elements. Goodman Wolfe Consulting, for the supply of batteries. And CPT, the trade association for the bus industry in the UK.

The company’s co-founder, Joe Tighe, stated that 9% of buses in the UK are still powered by diesel engines, which emit large amounts of carbon, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. This represents 35,000 buses on the road, polluting the environment. In this regard, the country faces a significant challenge to decarbonize this vital transportation sector rapidly and is striving to do so as quickly as possible. He also asserted that their method is faster and more financially prudent.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With an 88-meter wingspan, a capacity of 250 tons, six engines, and 32 wheels, the Ukrainian giant became the greatest symbol of extreme air transport and one of the most impressive machines in aviation history.

While traditional masonry can take months, a Brazilian company sells houses that arrive ready-made on a truck, install in up to 8 hours, and already come with electrical, plumbing, bathrooms, and finishes.

With R$ 189 million and 10 Brazilian companies, Brazil is developing a 12-meter national rocket to launch satellites of up to 30 kg from Alcântara and try to conquer the “key to space” without depending on powers like the USA, Russia, China, and India.

Cheap used cars can turn into a headache: 7 models up to R$ 50,000 that seem like a good deal, but can wipe out your savings at the mechanic’s

Mangroves hide a billion-dollar water cleanup, remove 960 thousand tons of nitrogen per year, and reveal an environmental power that many people hadn’t even imagined existed.
