Lancia 140 is an Italian trolleybus produced from 1967 to 1968. The vehicles are double decker. Until 1995 trolleybuses of this model were used in Porto, Portugal. This trolleybus had two doors. The electrical equipment was from CGE, and the body, with 58 seats, from Dalfa. 50 units were built.
The buses use an electric motor with 130 hp (97 kW) and they had maximum speed of 72 km/h (45 mph). The length is 8 m (26 ft 3 in) and the single deck version had 20 seats. [1]
A trolleybus is an electric bus that draws power from dual overhead wires using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires, and two trolley poles, are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return path, needing only one wire and one pole. They are also distinct from other kinds of electric buses, which usually rely on batteries. Power is most commonly supplied as 600-volt direct current, but there are exceptions.
