Driving a Volvo 7900 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 and the Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS) contribute to the excellent handling and smooth driving experience.

Operational flexibility and energy

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, and give an energy promise – our usable energy commitment.

Silent comfort

A Volvo 7900 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 an extremely 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.

Full 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.
