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 & batteries

Comfortably silent

A Volvo BZL Electric is a silent and comfortable experience, for everyone. The bus welcomes your passengers silently and gently at the bus stop. Low interior noise makes it easier to talk to others or listen to music during the ride. The driver also benefits from a calm and silent workspace, which reduces stress and improves working comfort. The silent propulsion also reduces noise for residents along the route, allowing the bus to get closer to where people actually live and work.
