Vy Buss Norge<\/strong> recently placed an order for a large number of Volvo electric buses<\/strong> for operation in Drammen and \u00c5lesund, with delivery set for later this year. 22 e-buses were ordered in May<\/a>. By summer 2021 Vy Buss will have 150 electric buses in operation<\/strong>, Volvo Buses points out. The same operator also awarded electric bus contract to BYD<\/a> (which includes Class II zero emission buses). Deliveries have began<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"vy\n

Only zero emission buses by 2025<\/h2>\n

Norway is among the world leaders when it comes to offering sustainable urban transport solutions. One of the country\u2019s environmental targets is for all urban buses to have zero emissions by 2025<\/strong>, Volvo Buses highlights. The introduction of more electric buses is therefore a crucial means of reaching this target, with more cities now taking steps to increase public transport electrification.<\/p>\n

In Drammen six Volvo 7900 Electric buses began operating in February 2019. This autumn they will be joined by another 22 Volvo electric buses, of which two are high- capacity models that can carry up to 120 passengers.<\/p>\n

For \u00c5lesund, Vy Buss has ordered ten Volvo 7900 Electric buses, part of a larger order totalling 66 Volvo buses.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolvo Buses has been with us from the very start of our journey to increased electromobility. Our partnership with Volvo Buses is strong, they build good-quality buses and their widespread network of dealers and workshops is very important to us,\u201d says Ole Engebret Haugen, President of Vy Buss AS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In both cases the agreement also includes the Volvo Gold Contract. This means that Volvo dealer Wist Last og Buss will take care of all service and maintenance<\/strong> for the electric buses on site in the customer\u2019s depot.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore and more cities in Europe are choosing to improve their environment and create new possibilities for urban planning by gradually electrifying their public transport. Over the past year alone we have received orders for more than 300 electrified buses in Norway and Sweden, including the recent orders for Drammen and \u00c5lesund. Together with operators and city planners we are continuing to develop transport solutions for sustainable electrically powered public transport that meets each city\u2019s unique prerequisites,\u201d comments Svenn-\u00c5ge L\u00f6kken<\/strong>, Sales Director Volvo Bussar Norge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
