👉The real trolleybus:
The MAN MPE 1 trolleybus was manufactured during World War II on the german standard for trolleybuses. The series is not widespread due to the outbreak of the war and the limitation of the industry. The main cities where it was used are Salzburg, Eberswalde, Koblenz and Sofia. The modification for Eberswalde used a single-pole collector. They are 8.8 m long, have 44 seats and develop a maximum speed of 45 km / h. Spotlights are mounted on the trolley poles to illuminate the network at night. They are also equipped with a battery that allows autonomous travel over short distances, mainly for maneuvering.

👉The trolleybus in OMSI:
In this video I make a preview of the standard version for Sofia. You can see the attaching of the poles, the movement of the poles, their detaching at high speed and a short manoeuvre on battery. Normally the battery is used to power the lights and is constantly getting charge from the network. If a single pole detaches the engine switches off and the battery starts to drain. The other possibility, manoeuvring, drains the battery faster. As the charge goes down the efficiency gets lower. Currently, the trolleybus can run for only a couple of metres before the battery gets out of charge.
