(PhysOrg.com) -- The Spanish "green" technology firm, Opbrid, has delivered a new kind of diesel-electric hybrid commuter bus to the northern Swedish town of Umea for initial testing of its over-head fast charging vehicle, dubbed the "Arctic Whisper." The name comes from the fact that it is almost silent as it makes its way around and the fact that onboard its so quiet, you can actually whisper to a fellow traveler.
