In the MULI-project a new type of medium-sized vehicle suitable for both passenger and goods transportation has been developed in cooperation with a qualified vehicle supplier. The vehicle, the MULI-Buslorry (a vehicle for MULtIple use), has a low floor, wide doors, a carefully planned passenger compartment with 13 seats based on the results of a special interior layout study, and a goods compartments specially adapted to transport goods from the health care administration and also bus goods. In the Swedish test-site two MULI-Buslorries, adapted to the biogas fuel and equipped with a CNG engine, have been demonstrated and evaluted in two interesting and innovative transport solutions-on a service/Hospital Route between NAL (Trollhattan/Vanersborg) hospital and Uddevalla hospital and on a Flexroute (a demand responsive service route) in Vanersborg. On both the test routes passengers and goods have been transported together.
