Volvo Buses <\/strong>announces it has received an order from Svealandstrafiken<\/strong> for a total of 106 electric buses <\/strong>to operate in the counties of V\u00e4stmanland and \u00d6rebro in Sweden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had already anticipated <\/a>this order, based on reporting from trade media Bussmagasinet.se, as the operator switched electric bus orders to the Swedish OEM while cancelling the majority of Ebusco commissioned vehicles due to late delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Svealandstrafiken orders Volvo intercity electric buses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The initial order included 60 Volvo 8900 Electric \u2013 the first orders since the model was launched, in March 2024<\/a> \u2013 and 13 Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated. Svealandstrafiken has now placed a call-off for a further 33 Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated.\u00a0Svealandstrafiken already has 17 Volvo electric buses in operation on urban traffic routes in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Volvo 8900 Electric\u00a0will operate in regional traffic in the counties of V\u00e4stmanland and \u00d6rebro, with the buses expected to begin service in early 2027<\/strong>. The\u00a0Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated\u00a0city buses, due for delivery in 2026, will serve city traffic routes in \u00d6rebro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation of the 8900 Electric, based on the\u00a0Volvo BZR Electric chassis<\/a>, the group stated that the first versions will be\u00a0available in \u201cselected European markets during 2025\u201d<\/strong>. Sizes?\u00a012,296 and 14,896 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chassis for the Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated and Volvo 8900 Electric will be manufactured at Volvo Buses\u2019 facilities in Bor\u00e5s and Uddevalla in Sweden, while the bodies will be made at MCV, following the\u00a0partnership signed in 2023<\/a>. A brand-new production facility is being built in Egypt<\/strong>, specially for the manufacture of complete electric buses from Volvo Buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are particularly pleased to have received a major order for our new intercity bus, the Volvo 8900 Electric. It will enable us to offer efficient, sustainable and quiet transportation not only in cities but also between cities. For Svealandstrafiken, this is more than just an order for electric buses though. They have a holistic perspective where social sustainability and service network have also been important factors in their choice of partner for the electrification of city and regional traffic,\u201d says Martin Spjern<\/strong>, Market Manager Sweden, Volvo Buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Volvo Buses, a company that shares our commitment to quality and innovation in public transport,\u201d says Geert Schaap<\/strong>, Head of Technology & Innovation, Svealandstrafiken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe order for 106 electric buses from Svealandstrafiken shows that we have chosen the right path in the strategic change we have implemented in Europe. Together with our partners, we will continue to develop solutions for public transport, and through our collaborations with external bodybuilders, we can also adapt our offer, depending on the customer and market,\u201d says Thomas Nylund<\/strong>, VP, Cluster Europe, Volvo Buses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
