Learn about our Usable energy commitment

An electric bus for any city and intercity operations

Your passengers have the right to expect both convenience and comfort. In a Volvo 8900 Electric they will appreciate the smooth ride, the comfortable Volvo-designed seats, and for longer journeys, there are practical details such as the generous luggage racks and optional service sets with individual reading lamps.   

Designed for energy efficiency

Commuter and intercity routes can differ greatly. This is why we have designed a modular energy storage. Fewer batteries mean more passengers, better economy and less dead weight.
