Articulated bus

An articulated bus comprising:

• a front vehicle including a steering wheel and a rear wheel positioned on a rear side of the steering wheel in a front-rear direction of a vehicle;
• a rear vehicle disposed on a rear side of the front vehicle in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and mounted with an engine;
• an articulating portion that swingably connects the front vehicle and the rear vehicle to each other;
• a hybrid system including an electric generator that functions as an electric motor and a generator, and an HV battery that stores electric energy generated by the electric generator and supplies electric energy to the electric generator;
• a low-voltage electric wire;
• and
• a high-voltage electric wire connected to the electric generator and the HV battery, a current of a higher voltage than a voltage of the low-voltage electric wire flowing through the high-voltage electric wire, wherein
• the HV battery is disposed on a roof of the front vehicle,
• the articulating portion includes a hood forming a passage space communicating with the front vehicle and the rear vehicle,
• the low-voltage electric wire includes
• a first low-voltage electric wire portion disposed inside the rear vehicle,
• a second low-voltage electric wire portion disposed inside the front vehicle, and
• a third low-voltage electric wire portion disposed inside the hood to connect the first low-voltage electric wire portion and the second low-voltage electric wire portion to each other, and
• the high-voltage electric wire includes
• a first high-voltage electric wire portion disposed on a roof of the rear vehicle to enter an inside of the rear vehicle from the roof of the rear vehicle at a front end portion of the rear vehicle,
• a second high-voltage electric wire portion disposed on the roof of the front vehicle to enter an inside of the front vehicle from the roof of the front vehicle at a rear end portion of the front vehicle, and
• a third high-voltage electric wire portion disposed inside the hood to connect the first high-voltage electric wire portion and the second high-voltage electric wire portion to each other.
