12 m Battery-Electric City Bus

Overview

An electric bus for the city

This 12-meter low-entry bus is built for stop-and-go urban service. With a battery electric drive there are no tailpipe emissions, noise is lower and fuel cost is replaced by electricity. Low-entry design means easier boarding for passengers with strollers, luggage or reduced mobility.

Drivetrain and battery

A single direct-drive electric motor delivers 260 kW peak power. The battery stores 363 kWh. Energy use depends on route, load, traffic, temperature and the use of air conditioning or heating, so real range varies widely between cities. We help you evaluate range against your routes, and do not give a single range number.

Charging

The bus supports DC charging at 100 × 2 kW. Charging time and power depend on the charger you install, the connector standard and battery condition. Plan depot charging and, if needed, opportunity charging at terminals; we advise on charger selection.

Body and capacity

The body measures 12000 × 2550 × 3270 mm. Seating ranges from 21 to 41 seats, with total passenger capacity from 84 to 101 depending on version and local rules. Maximum speed is 69 km/h.

Matching the bus to your market

Vehicle rules, door layout, steering side, air conditioning, passenger information and safety systems differ by country. The version offered depends on your market and operator requirements, as do the documents needed for registration.

Before you order

Review routes, depot space, charging infrastructure and grid supply. A bus is only as useful as the charging plan behind it. We support spare parts, driver and maintenance training, and after-sales communication.

Inquiry and quotation

Each quotation comes with a written scope, drawings or a specification, and a clear list of what is and is not included. The quote checklist below shows what to put in your inquiry.

Operating cost factors and fleet planning

An electric bus is judged on cost per kilometer and on whether the day’s route fits the battery. With a 363 kWh pack, most city routes with a charge at the depot overnight and a top-up midday are comfortably covered. Hot climates, hills and full loads draw more energy, so plan a safety margin of 20 to 30 percent.

Electricity costs far less per kilometer than diesel, and a drivetrain with one motor and few moving parts needs less servicing: no engine oil, fewer brake pad changes thanks to regenerative braking, and no exhaust system. The big long-term cost is the battery, and its life depends on how often it is fast-charged and how deeply it is discharged.

Charging infrastructure is the part that most affects fleet plans. Count how many buses must charge at the same time, check the grid connection at the depot, and decide whether to charge overnight or between trips. Seats range from 21 to 41, so decide whether your routes need more seats or more standing space.
