Cities are living beings made up by a collective of people, and our battery electric buses embody the power of collective movement – quite literally. But we offer far more than just vehicles: A holistic solution that defines the right products and services, and ensures the buses operate optimally.
The buses we offer are part of a complete e-mobility solution covering vehicles, services and systems. All integrated, all tailor-made for each need and demand, and with Scania taking full responsibility for every part of it.
Want help with charging infrastructure planning? Need introductions to the right green energy partner? Would you benefit from operational planning support? Want to finance not only vehicles, but also charging infrastructure? Is repair and maintenance staff in place or would a Scania workshop on your premises be helpful? No matter the context – we’ve got you covered.
The full solution is also what determines the operating economy. When factoring in every detail in the long-term instead of looking at individual factors in the short-term – it’s clear that the Scania focus on energy efficiency, reliability and smart digital services are all key for providing the best return-on-investment.
Battery capacity is not only about range, but rather about having the right amount of energy installed for the operation. It is of utmost importance to determine a suitable energy level based on the specific needs and prerequisites, also factoring in aspects such as investment cost and battery weight. Scania offers electric buses with several options of installed energy – 312 kWh, 416 kWh, and 520 kWh – and provides specification guidance to make sure the appropriate amount is selected.
The low-entry electric bus comes in two different chassis widths – and mm – and is suitable for usage all over the world in both medium and heavy-duty operations, in both Class I and Class II. Additionally, the two different axle gears available provide ratio options that work in even the most challenging topography.
Connected digital solutions enhance your vehicles with everything from advanced safety features and remote diagnostics, to real-time maps and geofencing functionality. And to help drivers quickly adopt the new technology, the Smart Dash provides the ultimate interface for confident electric operation in every sense – with a seamless user centric and dynamic approach. With continuous wireless updates and full integration in your fleet management tools – your are future proof from the start.
Scania´s charging solutions are continuously improved. Our charging interfaces, battery management system, and battery packs allow for charging speeds of up to 325 kW, providing short charging time and high vehicle availability. All while ensuring protection against hazards and also being both reliable and durable, also in harsh environments. With the option to place the charging port in either the front (130 kW) or rear (325 kW), the buses can be specified according to particular requirements.
Battery electric buses from Scania come with several power options – 240 kW, 270 kW, 300 kW and 330 kW (continuous) – providing flexibility to meet the needs of various operating assignments and conditions. The advanced e-machine and its integrated two or four-speed gearbox results in a highly energy-efficient powertrain that offers the power and startability needed, even in hills or heavy-duty operations. Fully harmonised in our battery electric bus platform, it comes with integrated cooling- and control systems that meet the highest cyber security demands.
As cities sprawl and populations surge, our reliance on public transportation grows. But the traditional reliance on diesel buses leaves a heavy footprint on the environment and our health. The future, however, shines bright with a silent, emissions-free solution: electric buses. These sleek machines are not just a futuristic novelty; they represent a revolution in urban mobility, offering a multitude of benefits for citizens, cities, and the planet. In this blog, we delve into the compelling reasons why electric buses are positioned as the future of public transportation.
The company is the world’s best Electric Intercity Buses supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Electric buses, as the name suggests, are buses powered entirely or partially by electricity. Unlike traditional buses reliant on fossil fuels, electric buses leverage electric propulsion systems, most commonly utilizing lithium-ion batteries. These batteries store and deliver energy to electric motors, propelling the bus forward with zero tailpipe emissions.
Perhaps the most compelling argument for electric buses is their environmental friendliness. By eliminating tailpipe emissions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels, electric buses contribute significantly to curbing air pollution and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. As cities strive to meet stringent emission standards, electric buses emerge as a crucial component of sustainable urban transportation.
While the initial investment in electric buses may be higher, their operational costs are notably lower than traditional counterparts. Electric buses boast fewer moving parts, resulting in reduced maintenance and repair expenses. Additionally, the cost of electricity is generally lower than that of conventional fuels, contributing to long-term cost savings for fleet operators.
Electric buses exhibit higher energy efficiency compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) buses. Electric propulsion systems convert a higher percentage of energy from the power source to the wheels, minimizing energy waste. This efficiency translates into better mileage and longer ranges per charge, addressing the range anxiety often associated with electric vehicles.
Ongoing advancements in battery technology, particularly in energy density and charging capabilities, have significantly improved the performance of electric buses. Modern lithium-ion batteries offer extended ranges, quicker charging times, and enhanced durability, making electric buses more practical and reliable for daily operations.
Electric buses are known for providing a quieter and smoother ride compared to traditional buses. The absence of noisy internal combustion engines enhances the overall passenger experience, making public transportation more attractive and comfortable. This can contribute to increased ridership and a positive perception of public transit.
Eicher is actively contributing to the electric bus revolution with its innovative offerings. Two standout models from Eicher's electric buses in India are the Skyline Pro E 9m and the Skyline Pro E 12m.
Skyline Pro E 9M: This dynamic 9-meter bus seamlessly navigates urban landscapes with a range of up to 300 km on a single charge. Its efficient drivetrain and high-energy batteries deliver reliable performance, while its comfortable seating and modern amenities cater to a delightful passenger experience.
Skyline Pro E 12M: Designed for larger capacity needs, this 12-meter bus boasts best-in-class charging efficiency with its 1.0 C rate system. The Monocoque construction ensures structural strength and durability, while the Prismatic cell technology extends battery life for long-lasting performance. Packed with advanced safety features, it prioritizes passenger and driver well-being.
The transition to electric buses is not just a technological shift; it's a paradigm change towards sustainable, healthy, and livable cities. With their clear environmental, economic, and social benefits, electric buses are not just the future of public transportation; they represent the present necessity for a cleaner, quieter, and healthier urban future.
So, the next time you board a bus, listen for the absence of the familiar rumble. It's the sound of progress and the silent testimony to a world where electric buses are not just a vision, but a reality, steering us towards a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.
