Trains are much more environmentally friendly mode of travel compared to buses/coaches, because it takes much less energy to travel on trails. This is basically a bus service, but whenever it can it travels as a train, which reduces CO2 emission.

It appears though that this vehicle is replacing an electrified line. It would have probably been better if it could run on electric while on the rails. Boston has buses that run on diesel in the streets but switch to overhead wire to run in a tunnel. Combining this with that would be pretty good.

this concept was already being used in the 1950s: 15 "Schi-Stra-Bus" were running from 1953 to 1967 in different places throughout Germany. One of these is on display in the railway museum of Bochum-Dahlhausen

The idea is to lower the cost of passenger rail service on lightly-traveled branchlines. That is one reason the bus is so narrow, and it does not seem capable of high speed or powerful enough to pull an articulated section.

I don't understand the concept of this. Couldn't the people just tack the regualr trains? Is this supposed to be environmentally safe or something?
