This paper discusses the possibilities of applying high temperature superconducting (HTS) synchronous motor to Superbus, an alternative and sustainable type of public transportation developed at TU Delft. The focus of this paper will be on how aerospace technology contributes to the concept and has an impact on the sustainability. This paper describes the considerations which led to the start of the development of the Superbus transport concept, the Superbus transport concept itself, the assessment procedure used by the Dutch government to assess all possible modes of public transport on the Zuiderzee connection and will conclude by reporting some of the results. In this evaluation procedure the Superbus was compared with other modes of high speed public transport. The concept has been evaluated in the framework of the Dutch high speed connection between the West and the North of the country, the so-called Zuiderzee connection. It consists of a sustainable, high speed road driven vehicle for use in public transport, dedicated high speed infrastructure and advanced logistic support systems for its demand driven operation. The Superbus transport concept is being developed by Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
