Volvo’s North American subsidiary Nova Bus has actually gotten a significant order to provide up to 1,229 battery-electric buses to 10 public transportation operators in the Canadian province of Quebec. The lorries are set up to be provided in between 2025 and 2027.
The order at first consists of 339 systems of the 12- meter LFSe+ electrical bus with alternatives for 890 more electrical buses. The purchase is being funded by the Canadian federal government with 780 million Canadian dollars and the provincial federal government of Quebec with another 1.1 billion dollars– that amounts to about 1.3 billion euros in overall.
The 40- foot-long LFSe + utilizes the familiar stainless-steel style of the LFS design, the customized electrical variation can have batteries of approximately 564 kWh. The battery is charged by cable television at the depot or on the go utilizing a pantograph. Compared to the LFSe, the LFSe+ utilizes a different electrical drive and ZF axles and provides a greater traveler capability.
The Nova Bus statement does not state which battery alternative the general public transportation operators have actually picked or if all the automobiles are set up the very same method. The LFSe+ frames for this order will be integrated in Saint-François-du-Lac and the buses will be put together at the Saint-Eustache plant in Québec.
