Specifications

A flexible platform for productive e-mobility

The Volvo BZL Electric comes in double-deck and single-deck versions, both with MCV bodies. And the single-decker can be specified to no less than seven different lengths, from 9 to 13 metres. All share the all-Volvo driveline, which means excellent energy efficiency and swift maintenance. Furthermore, we see the vehicle as a system component in the public transport architecture. The system approach gives possibilities to optimise the entire operation on a route, beyond the basics of battery capacity and charging times. And this is why we work together with the operator, to find the optimal solution for the entire service period.

Towards zero

At Volvo, we want to help cities in their transformation towards zero cites, with zero emissions, zero noise, zero congestion and zero accidents. With our clean and silent electric buses, you can offer attractive public transport that complies with the toughest restrictions on emissions and noise, while at the same time helping to reduce congestion. And with automated technologies such as geofencing and Safety Zones, you can increase overall traffic safety in the city.

Charged for your route

Every operation is unique. The route, required passenger capacity, climate and charging opportunities are parameters, setting the demand for on-board energy capacity. That is why we at Volvo offer maximum flexibility. Different charging possibilities and an energy storage system with a modular traction battery configuration. By this, we can tailor a solution to exactly suit your operation, ensuring that the right useable energy capacity is always available.

Charging and batteries

A first-class driving experience

Driving a Volvo BZL Electric is quite an experience. The high-performing electric Volvo driveline and the optimised transmission delivers impressive torque and driveability for safe operation in demanding uphill conditions. Optimised battery positionings contribute to the excellent handling and smooth driving experience.

Charging flexibility

Volvo offers a flexible charging concept that allows both pantograph and cable. You can charge at any time that best suits your schedule, planning and operation. On route, at breaks, during off-peak periods or at night – in any combination.

Future-proof technologies

Volvo has been pioneering e-mobility solutions for many years, and we have accumulated considerable expertise throughout the entire Volvo Group. We work closely with leading cities in implementing sustainable and future-proof electric bus systems.

Volvo’s usable energy commitment

The range of an electric bus depends on several factors. Together with the operator, we analyze the energy need for each route, and guarantee that the required energy capacity will be available throughout the contract period.

All inclusive – Volvo Turnkey

Defined passenger capacity at a specified cost per kilometer – that’s the essence of Volvo Turnkey solutions.
