With the Volvo 7900 Electric range you get the flexibility to tailor passenger capacity and charging solutions to match your operation. Under the new design, new active safety features have been added to the well-proven, top ranked technology. World-class driver ergonomics and pioneering safety are Volvo hallmarks, and our electric buses offer a silent and comfortable experience for both drivers and passengers alike.
Volvo’s electric buses feature powerful electric Volvo drivelines and optimised transmissions, delivering power and driveability for safe operation in the most demanding conditions. The Articulated model has a dual motor with a power output of no less than 540 hp to ensure the same reliable uphill performance as a 12-metre bus. Fully loaded, it can maintain more than 50 km/h on a 6% uphill gradient, and the Hill Start function guarantees safe starts with heavy loads even on a 20% uphill gradient.
Passenger capacity and driving range between charges are important parameters in deciding how to configure the on-board energy storage system. At Volvo we’ve taken this an important step further. Together with the operator we determine the energy demand for the route, and then we guarantee that this capacity will be available. We offer this as the Useable Energy Commitment, and your benefit is that there’s no need to worry about batteries any more.
The Volvo 7900 Electric is designed around the driver, making driving impressively easy, quiet and comfortable. All driver information is presented in a clear and concise way, directly in the dynamic instrument cluster, helping the driver to focus on the traffic situation. The silent workspace, the ergonomic driver’s environment and Volvo Dynamic Steering reduce stress and improve working comfort. It’s a workplace that is designed in every way to attract, recruit and retain skilled drivers and bring the driver turnover to zero.
The new dynamic instrument cluster helps the driver focus on safe driving. All driving data, including that of the active safety systems, is presented in the display right in the driver’s field of vision, as opposed to being shown on separate add-on displays.
The comfortable driver’s environment in a Volvo 7900 Electric is probably one of the best available, with world-class ergonomic design and superior visibility. The smooth electric propulsion also means less vibration when driving.
Volvo Dynamic Steering takes most of the effort out of driving a bus. The effortless manoeuvring in roundabouts and when cornering is a major benefit for the driver and significantly reduces the risk of injuries in the neck, shoulders and arms.
Volvo offers an array of intelligent features that help the driver to drive safely and avoid accidents, injuries and damage. Excellent visibility and ergonomics help the driver stay focused and alert.
