Tell us about your latest products, services, promotions or launches that visitors can hope to see on your stand:
Our latest product is the so-called eShuttle. Inner-city and last-mile operation as well as passenger transport on airports belong to the operational spectrum of the eShuttle. Cost-efficient electric and environmentally friendly transport for up to 60 people allow multipurpose usage of the vehicle. Fast charging within minutes allows the optimization of the battery pack size. The eShuttle is homologated for on-road and public transport applications (M3) and is capable of climbing slopes of up to 25%. Low noise and zero emission. The steel structure of the vehicle is self-supporting and integrates the drive motor(s) in the rear segment of the vehicle chassis. In order to optimize the center of gravity and the driving performance, as well as safety, the battery packs are positioned in the vehicle floor. The body of the vehicle is built in a modular manner and based on carry-over parts, which reduces spare parts complexity. The fully walkthrough low floor permits maximum flexibility when it comes to the seat layout. In terms of exterior as well as interior design, eVersum sets new standards. A lot of light inside the vehicle, an optional panorama roof, high-quality vinyl floors in various surface optics and a custom-designed dashboard embedding the driver’s working place, distinguish eVersum’s eShuttle clearly from competitors. Audio-visual passenger information systems, cash register or payment collection systems and other functional systems can be integrated in the vehicle according to customer demands. A wheelchair ramp (manual or automatic) integrated in the vehicle floor can be offered as well. The mirror-replacement system (Orlaco Stoneridge) increases road safety in all weather conditions and helps reduce accidents.
Why is exhibiting at Euro Bus Expo 2022 an unmissable opportunity for you?
