Since 2015 the company is official Mercedes van partner. The first electric minibus by Tribus was launched in 2017. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/electric-bus\/tribus-four-steering-wheel-and-modular-body-for-the-electric-bus-movitas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The main novelty is called <strong>Movitas<\/strong><\/a>, a full electric city bus built with a complete flat floor and developed in cooperation with <strong>Haverkamp Engineering and Steketee Design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Tribus Movitas for fast and depot charging<\/h2>\n<p>The compact electric bus is modular build and its <strong>length could vary between 8.2, 8.95 and 9.7 m<\/strong>. The Movitas contains many sustainable solutions to reduce energy consumption. It features\u00a0<strong>four wheel steering<\/strong>, a heat pump, well insulated double glazing and a complete low floor.<\/p>\n<p>Battery capacity could reach 46 or 68 in the vehicles equipped for fast charging (in this case the formula is LTO), while more capacity of NMC batteries is available for buses charged overnight.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/maxresdefault-9-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"tribus movitas\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/>\n<h2>Tribus Civitas Economy, designed for public transport<\/h2>\n<p>The second new solution Tribus is presenting at Busworld is the Tribus\u00a0<strong>Civitas Economy<\/strong>. This<strong> low floor minibus<\/strong> is developed on the base of the new VW Crafter L4H3. The standard configuration accommodates TriflexAIR seats and one wheelchair user which can board the minibus independently by means of a folding ramp. The Civitas Economy has <strong>panoramic windows<\/strong> for good view and is accessible through wide metro doors which can be operated by the driver.<\/p>\n<p>Special about this conversion is the wheelchair restraint system TriflexAIR; this system is completely integrated in the floor and easy to operate for both driver and passenger.
