Main Features of Kestrel buses
50% + fuel and emissions saving estimated on London Bus route 159 compared to the baseline double deck buses

Low cost (<£5,000) per bus - this leads to less than 1 year payback - a good commercial proposition for operators
Retrofit is practicable because it fits into the space of a conventional engine and gearbox

 
Fully mechanical system consisting of a conventional engine, and energy storage flywheel, and epicyclic gear set to select engine or flywheel drive, and a transmission - therefore easy maintenance

Sufficiently low cost to be attractive for urban truck operators
