Zürich trolleybus to be demonstrated in Salzburg

The first of the new trolleybuses, number 78, has been seeing intensive use on both routes 31 and 32, where it has since been joined by 79. Deliveries have reached at least number 80. The new buses can easily be recognised in service by their matrix displays, which have a much better contrast than the previous generation. Also, in contrast to the previous batch, they do not have an auxiliary diesel engine but use lithium batteries. One of the new trolleybuses (probably 78) is being loaned to Salzburg for demonstration. It is reported it left Zürich yesterday.
