This feature documents those vehicles seen in action from 2008 and is already the largest online photographic record of Horsham's vehicles with over 50 available</P> <P>Most of the vehicles in this feature are sign-written with a Horsham address and been seen in and around the town. Alternatively they are clearly a Horsham-based vehicle. Submissions welcomed from all suitable traders who will be linked to (free of charge) in the External Links box-out below</P> <P>All have been photographed either at their base or when parked around the town and the image aims to capture the sign writing and the vehicle manufacturer</P> <P>The most original vehicle fleet must surely belong to Coffee Motion who pack a Smart car and tiny van full of everything needed to deliver coffee to events, businesses and the public around Horsham</P> <P>The China Brasserie have opted for the Mini Estate with the unusual half-door behind the driving seat</P> <P>Arriva are using a locally sourced hybrid bus for the town run. Supplied by Traction Technology in Slinfold the vehicle runs off a series of lead-acid batteries. These batteries are charged by an on-board generator powered by a small diesel engine. By running the engine at its maximum efficiency it can delivery fuel savings of up to 30% - and the recharging can take place out of town. It can also recover energy used during braking to deliver further savings. In August 2008 Traction Technology ceased trading and the vehicles were withdrawn from the Horsham routes</P> <TABLE BORDER=0 class=thumbs align="center"> <TR><TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/wv/full/72a.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/wv/page/72a.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Coffee Motion Smart car" width=294 height=215 border=0 align=left></A></TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/wv/full/72d.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/wv/page/72d.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Fresh Local Fish van" width=294 height=236 border=0 align=left></A></TD></TR> <TR><TD><P class=c>Coffee Motion Smart car</P></TD><TD><P class=c>Fresh Local Fish van</P></TD></TR> <TR><TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/wv/full/72c.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/wv/page/72c.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Arriva Hybrid Vehicle" width=295 height=122 border=0 align=left></A></TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/wv/full/72b.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/wv/page/72b.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, China Brasserie Mini Estate" width=295 height=127 border=0 align=left></A></TD></TR> <TR><TD><P class=c>Arriva Hybrid Vehicle</P></TD><TD><P class=c>China Brasserie Mini Estate</P></TD></TR> </TABLE> <P>The Police CCTV van is often to be seen around the town on a Friday evening ready to record any unfolding events.
