New trolleybus overhead current collector design.

Irisbus Civis -
Available as a trolleybus, with central driver position (above) or offset.

Civis optical guidance -
Mounted at the base of the windscreen, a camera reads pale blue, road painted, dotted lines to provide an optional guidance system. The idea is currently being tested at Clermond-Ferrand and Rouen in France.

Civis axles -
Hub mounted motors on the two rear axles, turning special 'super-single' tyres, provide a low platform height of 320mm.
