By Jim Gibbins - 1st April 2020
The Netherlands / Italy – The first e-mobility contract in Italy for VDL Bus & Coach of Eindhoven, The Netherlands has resulted in four Citea SLF-120 electric buses being delivered to Milan's Malpensa Airport for operation between the car parks, terminals 1 and 2, and Cargo City.
The buses are each equipped with an 85kWh battery pack. They do not drive on the airfield at Milano-Malpensa itself but are fitted with special lighting, so they can be used there in emergencies if necessary. The buses also have WiFi, USB connections and dark tinted glazing. They are used around the clock, with one vehicle continuing to drive at night.
