Volvo’s electric buses feature powerful electric Volvo drivelines and optimised transmissions, delivering power and drivability for safe operation in the most demanding conditions.
The driveline can be configured as a single or dual motor unit with a power output of no less than 540 hp. This makes the Volvo BZL Electric an untiring hill climber and will allow for swift and smooth operation even on the tightest schedules.
The Volvo BZL Electric comes with multiple options for the bodybuilder. Wheelbase and overhang can easily be adapted to a body design that meets the operational requirement.
The component packaging is developed for maximum serviceability. Add to that the location of the energy storage units, providing excellent load distribution.
The Volvo BZL Electric chassis design is simply focused on top quality in efficient manufacturing of a premium electric city bus.
In a Volvo B13R, safety is built in from the very start.
Volvo offers an array of intelligent functions helping the driver to drive safely, avoid incidents and protecting from injuries and damage. Excellent visibility and ergonomics help the driver to stay focused and alert.
Safety is a cornerstone already in the initial phases of our product development. Drivability, road handling and a predictable behaviour are the foundation of Volvo holistic safety architecture, aiming at Volvo's vision of zero accidents.
Volvo has the industry’s strongest reputation for safety innovations. The Volvo B13R Low Entry is equipped with a sturdy internal structure and several protective features that significantly reduce the risk of serious injuries in the unlikely event of a collision, including Foot Impact Protection, Knee Impact Protection and Front Underrun Protection.
The Volvo BZL Electric driveline is fine-tuned to perfectly harmonize with the premium quality chassis design.
This makes for a perfect base for building a bus with very low interior noise. Your passengers will appreciate the silent atmosphere and it is also a big relief for the driver, helping to reduce stress and stay more focused and alert.
The comfortable driver’s environment in a Volvo BZL Electric is probably one of the best available, with world-class ergonomic design and logical layout.
Volvo’s chassis concept also makes the most of the smooth electric propulsion, resulting in less vibration when driving.
