Irizar e-buses for Fuenlabrada

It’s a vehicle “that stands out, among other reasons, for its low noise level (below 70 dB with the air conditioning running), and its high capacity, easy access and the ample space for passengers inside. The passenger area of the bus is luminous, comfortable, spacious, pleasant and safe. It has USB ports for charging the batteries of passengers’ phones”, the manufacturer highlights.

In terms of accessibility, it’s a low floor vehicle that has a ramp, priority spaces and seats for people with reduced mobility, sound and light emitting door buttons, and stops can be requested in Braille.

It has video surveillance cameras and obstacle proximity radar, among other things.
