An "Inverted" Tri-axle Bus!?
Website: http://www.busandcoach.com/featurepage.aspx?id=1982&categoryid=1This "funny" bus is called Hynovis, a hybrid-drive concept bus by Irisbus Iveco in 2008. The most extraordinary feature of Hynovis is the "twin front wheels" -- it has two front axles fitted with smaller wheels, so as to increase the interior space of the bus. Its single rear axle has been moved back so as to extend the low-floor area of the bus.
The pictures below are adapted from another Czech website. As you can see, all the three axles steer. The rear axle turns to the opposite direction to the front axles, so as to reduce the radius of the turning circle. (HK's Neoplan Centroliners have similar functions, but was never used by local drivers) Besides, its short rear part somehow looks like the "head" of a coach! So, if you see an "inverted" tri-axle "coach" running on street, don't be too surprised -- very likely, it is the Irisbus Hynovis.
