Dancer Electric City Bus

DANCER Electric City Bus Vehicle Saturday, 3 October 2026

Dancer

Dancer is an electric city bus developed for urban public transport. The body structure is formed from five large modules, using construction methods found in wind turbines and racing yachts. The composite material combines glass fibre, vinyl ester resin and recycled PET foam, so the body is light, strong and ready for recycling. Curved sidewalls add strength, and the rounded plan view improves manoeuvrability. A rear screen improves visibility for other drivers and can also show advertising. Charging takes six minutes for a range of 100 kilometres.

Bellariva

Gillet Bellariva is a supercar designed for daily use and for long journeys. The exterior recalls the sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s and the lines of luxury speedboats and yachts.
