In addition to the electric buses, the order includes 27 Euro VI buses for regional operations, running on biodiesel. The buses will be charged at quick-charge stations along the route, using the industry common charging interface OppChargeTM, in order to ensure the most efficient operation possible. The Volvo Electric Articulated combines high passenger capacity with low operating costs. The Volvo Electric Articulated can carry 150 passengers with an energy consumption that is 80 per cent lower than that of a corresponding diesel bus. Being able to announce that we have chosen Volvo as our partner for city bus operations in Volvo's home city of Gothenburg is of course particularly satisfying," says Gunnar Schön, CEO of Transdev Sweden.Īll of the buses will be of the recently launched 7900 Volvo Electric Articulated model. We've therefore been extremely thorough in choosing a partner with a holistic approach, a partner that will be able to deliver both buses and charging infrastructure on time and with excellent uptime. "Transdev is today Europe's leading operator of electric buses and we know what challenges there are with the transition to electric propulsion. This large order confirms that electric buses are already recognised as a sustainable and financially viable solution for demanding high-capacity public transport needs," says Håkan Agnevall, President of Volvo Buses. We focus on solutions that offer high reliability and high service levels for route operators and passengers. We have a holistic system perspective for cities that encompasses vehicles, services and charging infrastructure.
Volvo is a pioneer in electromobility and sustainable public transport. "It is immensely gratifying that we have secured Europe's largest ever single order for electric buses - no less than 157 buses. With their introduction, emissions and noise will be significantly reduced, and the electric buses will be able to operate in sensitive areas or zones with special restrictions. The buses will operate on a number of routes in Gothenburg. Volvo Buses will deliver 157 electric articulated buses to Transdev starting in 2020. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Volvo Buses has received the largest single order for electric buses in Europe. The FL Electric is designed to have a range of up to 300 km (186 miles) from batteries ranging from 100 to 300 kWh.GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Nov. Calling these "holistic solutions," Volvo Truck's head of product strategy for the FL and FE, Jonas Odermalm describes a combination of driving cycles, load capacities, and expected uptime being used to determine range, charging infrastructure, and so forth. Volvo has built the truck to be modular so that battery costs can be minimized and suited directly to the user's requirements. The range for the Volvo FL Electric will depend on need. That's more than enough power for a truck with a gross weight of up to 16 tonnes (35,000 pounds).
The drivetrain then compounds that to 16 kNm (11,801 lb-ft) through the rear axle. Powered by a 130 kW continuous output (185 kW peak) motor, the truck's motor can output 425 Nm (313 lb-ft). The Volvo FL Electric is fully electrified, operating as a battery-electric truck. Engineered to be variable according to need, the FL Electric is suitable for urban distribution, refuse operations, and similar requirements. Volvo introduced its new FL platform for 16-tonne applications last month and has now unveiled its electrified version of that design, the FL Electric.
