Thanks to this design and materials, the cabin of the bus has natural light and offers a panoramic view of the city, in addition to visual pollution is reduced because such buses do not offer the option to carry advertising. An additional point is that each panel can be added a film of LED lights, which can be programmed to display data path statically or dynamically, which also serve to give a unique look at night.

So far there are a couple of these buses circulating around town, but the idea is to completely change the entire existing fleet over the next year, because even though the investment is large, will bring medium term benefits because consumption energy is zero and virtually no need cabling infrastructure distributed by the city.
