Volvo first electric bus launched

If you are going to Sweden, you can have drive between Lindholmen and Chalmers/Johanneberg in Gothenburg on rout 55 in Volvo Electric Bus. This new route will be operated by three all-electric Volvo buses and seven electric hybrids Volvo buses. The buses are ready with battery boxes that can be quick-charged with renewable electricity at their end terminals. Energy consumption of these Volvo electric buses is about 80 per cent lesser compare to diesel buses.

“Right now we are carrying out final testing to ensure everything works just as it should when regular traffic gets under way. This marks a major milestone in our development of new solutions for electrified buses. Quiet and entirely exhaust-free operation will contribute both to a better urban environment and reduced climate impact, while passengers get a more pleasant ride,” says Håkan Agnevall, President Volvo Buses.
