Volvo has always been known for being on the front lines of innovation, and their bus department (or is it the alternative fuels department?) has proven once again that they’re top notch when they launched the Volvo 7700 bus earlier this week…

The 7700 will apparently consume about 30% less fuel than a standard street bus which could have a huge impact on any city should they decide to  use this system. Microdust and other particles emissions will also be reduced by about 50%.

That’s one green bus — and that’s what Volvo must have thought painting it Brittish Racing Green. Hybrid cars can have a huge impact, but think about what all the green buses could do!
