A Cost-Effective Solution for Cleaner Urban Transportation
A book by Terence P. O’Halloran which aims to Unleash the Power of In Motion Charging to Transform Public Transit
Are you tired of the wasteful solutions we often see in society? Do you believe in the urgent need to reduce pollution and improve the health of those living in urban areas? If the answer is YES, then we have the book for you!
“Trolleybus Revolution – UK," is a groundbreaking book written by now published author Terence P O’Halloran that explores an innovative and cost-effective solution for transforming public transportation.

In this captivating read, the author takes you on a journey back in time to the 1930s when cheap electricity fueled a fleet of electric buses and utility vehicles, all powered by fully recyclable lead-acid batteries. Trolleybuses, with their affordability, quiet operation, and freedom from vibrations, became a familiar sight in major cities and towns across the UK.
However, as the UK's electricity production became more expensive and diesel engines advanced, the popularity of trolleybuses waned. Diesel buses offered flexibility without the need for overhead wires and catenaries, and they were cheaper to produce. But does that mean we should abandon the idea of electric buses altogether?
This book is not just for technical enthusiasts; it is written with the average reader in mind. By examining the value for money provided by local governments and the impact on taxpayers, this title demonstrates that implementing IMC (In Motion Charging) costs tens of millions, not hundreds of millions of pounds. Instead of manufacturing new vehicles, modifying existing bus fleets can provide seven retrofitted, refurbished IMC vehicles for the cost of one new bus, reducing battery size and weight significantly.
Furthermore, the IMC approach demands 30% fewer vehicles in the operating fleet, eliminating the lengthy battery charging periods and reducing the strain on the electrical grid.
"Trolleybus Revolution – UK" makes a compelling case for the return of this cost-effective mechanism, which could replace fossil fuel-powered vehicles in over 50 cities and large towns in the UK, as well as worldwide. With 44,000 trolleybuses already operating globally, using mains electricity to propel the vehicles and charge on-board batteries when away from the catenary, IMC is a proven and preferred solution.
Terence, Author and Chartered Financial Planner with an engineering background, raises a thought-provoking question: Why are we importing battery electric buses from China, which generates a significant portion of its electricity from coal? As we strive to reduce our carbon footprint, shouldn't we prioritise cost-effective solutions that also address the environmental impact of battery production?
Her book highlights the emphasis on reducing air pollution and advocates for In Motion Charging as a speedier and more cost-effective means to achieve this goal. By reading this book, you will gain the knowledge and insights necessary to influence local authorities and government representatives to seriously consider installing catenary systems and implementing In Motion Charging for clean air and pollution-efficient public transit.
With the official aspiration to reach zero emissions by 2035, we cannot afford to indulge in an impossible dream. It's time to wake up to reality and transform our existing fleet.
Terence’s title provides a practical roadmap for achieving this conversion within a reasonable timescale, while considering the financial and environmental efficiency of our transportation systems.

Digital Publishing: Embrace e-books and digital publishing platforms as an alternative to physical copies. E-books eliminate the need for printing, reducing paper consumption and waste. Publishing Push Offers This!
Print-on-Demand: Instead of printing large quantities of books in advance, use print-on-demand services. This approach allows books to be printed as needed, reducing the risk of excess inventory and minimising waste. The way print on demand works is that the online retailers monitor the demand for your book and than they print based on the request, this meaning the more copies of your book being sold, the more they are going to keep in stock. Basically the algorithm will look and see how many books have been ordered of a title, and how many should they be keeping in stock to meet demand. For instance, when you publish through us, it’s not just printing on demand through the retailers, it is also print on demand through the distributors, meaning that major retailers or major physical bookshop can also order copies of your book.
