Iveco Bus at European Mobility Expo

The undisputed leader in its category for 4 years in France and adopted by many European transport operators is the GX 337 ELEC (named E-WAY out of France).

The GX 337 ELEC is part of the GX ELEC range, also comprising the GX 137, GX 137 L and GX 437 models. It is offered in 4 lengths (9.5m – 10.7m – 12m and 18m) and in Bus Rapid Transit variants for standard and articulated LINIUM models. Depending on the model, the GX ELEC buses are equipped with 5 to 9 new generation NMC battery packs. This modular and flexible battery technology supplied by FPT Industrial, with a unit capacity of 69.3 kWh, allows for more on-board energy and excellent energy density (180 Wh/kg) to meet operators’ most demanding needs in terms of daily range and passenger capacity. The extended battery capacity provides a range of up to 400 km depending on operating conditions.

The GX ELEC models are equipped with the SIEMENS Elfa III electric motor offering 310 kW maximum power (3000 Nm) for the GX 137, GX 137 L and GX 337 models and 375 kW (4000 Nm) for the articulated GX 437 version.

As part of the EuMo Expo, a 12m version in the colors of CTS – Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois – is on display on the IVECO BUS stand. The vehicle presented has 6 battery packs of 416 kWh, offering the operator maximum range. It can accommodate 22 seated passengers and 2 wheelchair users.

Also E-Way H2 at European Mobility Expo

For its hydrogen model, the manufacturer has developed a concept combining the 100 kW Hyundai fuel cell with a 69 kWh FPT Industrial battery pack. This concept proves particularly efficient in terms of reducing hydrogen consumption (15 to 20% lower than usual levels), optimizing thermal comfort, while ensuring a long service life for key components (battery and fuel cell) and excellent passenger accommodation capacity.

The hydrogen fuel cell, located in the rear compartment, is powered by 4 hydrogen tanks with a capacity of 31 kg, located on the roof. The vehicle benefits from the 310 kW SIEMENS ELFA 3 electric motor and integrates an electric vehicle control platform (eVECOP) with its fully in-house developed software, to optimize the distribution of hydrogen power and achieve the best performance.

The E-WAY H2 is available in a standard 12-meter length version and a choice of two or three access doors. It can accommodate up to 111 passengers and offers a range of 450 km.

The model presented at EuMo Expo can accommodate 29 seated passengers and 1 wheelchair user.
