The Youngman JNP6250G bus shown in the photo is the largest bus in the world at the moment. This vehicle is specially designed for major Chinese cities. Chinese engineers believe that this bus could partially solve the problem of tension on congested Chinese roads.

Standard length public transport about 12 meters, however the length of the Youngman JNP6250G is as much as 25 meters. Despite its size, the huge bus is relatively maneuverable. Maneuverability is achieved thanks to two flexible sectors that increase the maneuverability of public transport. In the near future, such buses may appear in the CIS countries, for example, from the busfor.ua company.

To increase the capacity of the bus, the number of seats was significantly reduced, leaving only 40 seats for the entire bus, which gives the car a large free space, which can accommodate up to 260 people. Thus, the total capacity of the largest bus in the world is up to 300 passengers.

The cost of transportation of passengers this transport significantly lower than on standard buses, as it can carry many more passengers. 5 wide doors are used to enter and exit. Maximum speed Youngman JNP6250G is 80 kilometers per hour.

Attempts to create the largest bus in the world go back to 1914. A certain Jord Schlitz tried to combine a Stevenson horse bus and a Knox tractor. The completed bus carried 120 passengers each in Brooklyn, New York.

Obviously, the vehicle became the largest bus at the beginning of the 20th century.

In the 21st century, passenger traffic has grown, and buses have become noticeably larger. China claims to have produced the world's largest bus (longest pictured) Zhejiang Young Man Vehicle Group unveiled the 25m superliner at the Shanghai Bus Show. The bus is equipped with 5 doors and 40 seats and takes 300 people on board.

The bus is equipped with an "accordion" and bends when cornering.

However, a larger bus was found in Brazil. Volvo Bus Corporation Brazil has issued new bus on B12M chassis, with TX platform. The largest version of a bus built on such a chassis reaches a length of 26.8 m. The bus was created for certain routes and can simultaneously carry 300 passengers.

Volvo claims it is the longest bus in the world.

But the biggest bus is produced in Europe. This is a city articulated bus DAF Super City Train with a length of 32.2 meters. (pictured is another DAF bus)

It can carry 350 passengers in two cabins, in the first one there are 110 seats and 140 standing ones, in the second one there are 60 seats and 40 standing places. Without a doubt, this is the largest bus in the world.

On August 8, 1924, the first regular intracity bus route... On this occasion, we recall 10 outstanding models of buses that at different times traveled across the vastness of our homeland.

The lightest bus - PAZ 672

The PAZ 672 model, which has been in production for 15 years, starting in 1967, can be considered one of the lightest buses. Its curb weight was 4.5 tons, and its full weight reached 7 825 kg. True, this bus had only 23 seats.

The slowest bus is YaA-2

The slowest buses were at the dawn of this type of vehicle. In 1934, a prototype of the YaA-2 bus was developed. It was equipped with an American 6-cylinder engine, the volume of which was an impressive 8.2 liters, and the power reached 120 hp. However, despite the powerful power plant, the bus couldn't boast high speed, since its maximum value was only 48 km / h. Such a low figure can be explained by the body length record for those times (more than 11 m) and the heavy frame. At the same time, the bus was one of the most spacious (it could carry 100 passengers) and comfortable. The prototype did not go into production.

The weakest bus - ZiS 16

In the period from 1938 to 1941, one of the weakest buses in its class, the ZiS 16, was produced. This shuttle vehicle was equipped with an engine with a volume of 5,555 cm³ without turbocharging. The engine power was only 85 hp, so the bus with a partially wooden body and weighing 13 tons accelerated only to 65 km / h.

The most voracious bus - ZiS 154

Modern manufacturers are trying to create the most economical engines... However, in the middle of the last century, few people thought about it. For instance, soviet bus ZiS 154, which was produced in the late 1940s, consumed 65 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers. This bus was equipped with diesel engine YaAZ-204A with a working volume of 4.65 liters and a power of 110 hp. A route vehicle weighing more than 12 tons could accommodate only 34 passengers and was able to transport them at a maximum speed of 65 km / h.

The bus with the largest engine - LiAZ 5256

The model of the Likinsky bus plant LiAZ 5256 has been produced since 1986 for almost 20 years. This bus was equipped with one of the most large engines KamAZ 7408.10 with a volume of 10 850 cm³. The power of the unit was 195 hp, and the maximum speed was a modest 70 km / h.

The most economical bus - PAZ 4228

One of the most economical Russian buses was the prototype PAZ 4228, which was created in 1998. At that time Pavlovsky bus factory conducted active negotiations with foreign investors represented by the Swedes from the company Volvo Trucks... As a result, the domestic bus manufacturer purchased several engines, which were also equipped with the experimental PAZ 4228. Thanks to this cooperation, the experimental bus spent only 25 liters of fuel on the combined cycle to travel 100 km. For a city bus, this is a very good indicator.

The bus with the smallest engine - PAZ Real

The bus with the smallest engine is PAZ Real. This vehicle is a joint development of the Brazilian company Marcopolo and domestic manufacturer GAZ Group. PAZ Real is small bus for urban and commuter routes... Its dimensions can be called modest, as well as its capacity - only 22 seats. A development from Hyundai was used as a chassis, and the volume injection engine makes a modest 3 298 cm³.

The most powerful bus - LiAZ 52565

One of the most powerful shuttle buses is LiAZ 52565, which was produced in 2003. The vehicle was powered by a Cummins CG-250 gas-fueled engine. The engine displacement was 8.3 liters and the power was 253 hp. However, despite such an impressive engine, the maximum speed of the bus was only 70 km / h.

5. AEC Routemaster

This bus, along with Trafalgar Square and the Tower of London, is the symbol of the British capital. It's almost impossible to imagine London without the classic Routemaster. Its release took place in 1954. The AEC company was engaged in this. The AEC Routemaster was directly in operation from February 8, 1956 to December 9, 2005. The first copies replaced trolleybuses, and the next ones replaced the old bus models.

A special feature of this vehicle is the open rear platform, which served as an entrance. The AEC Routemaster had no doors. Today, several hundred of these buses have survived.
