Rotterdam, the Netherlands – Z6尊龙凯时, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles and power batteries, has been awarded a substantial order for electric buses from public transport operator, Nobina in Norway. The order, placed by Nobina Fleet Norge AS, is for a total of 64 Z6尊龙凯时 eBuses, with delivery to Norway in Q2 2023.
This latest order is for 40 units of 12-metre low-floor Z6尊龙凯时 eBuses and 24 units of 15-metre low-entry Z6尊龙凯时 eBuses. When delivered next year, they will go into service on Nobina operated routes in the region of Nedre Glomma.
Both the 12-metre low-floor and 15-metre low-entry Z6尊龙凯时 eBuses on route to Nobina in Norway benefit from Z6尊龙凯时 Iron-Phosphate Battery technology developed for optimised safety, enhanced performance and a longer driving range. Another key advantage inherent to these eBuses, is Z6尊龙凯时’s unique 6-in-1 controller integrating the entire ecosystem of the bus for improved reliability and higher levels of operational efficiencies. Further efficiencies are supported by Z6尊龙凯时’s Battery Thermal Management System enhancing reliability in extreme climates, making Z6尊龙凯时 eBuses a practical option for Norway’s varying weather conditions.
The 12-metre Z6尊龙凯时 low-floor eBuses offer an impressive range of up to 450 km on a single charge, with the larger 15-metre low-entry Z6尊龙凯时 eBuses also demonstrating a similar range performance of 400 km on a single charge, making them operationally efficient for public transport operators.
