Interesting to compare with (sorry about their clumsy URLs):

Described as "Mégatrolleybus articulé" (57 seats plus 122 standing;
24m long overall, it says). OK, so TPG possess a grand total of 1 of
these beasts; I've no idea which route it might be found on, I've
never seen it in service myself (but have frequently used the number
10 trolleybus to/from Geneva airport). They appear to have several
dozen trolleybuses of a more conventional (bendy-bus) length, judging
from their list.

Overview of all their vehicles is at
