Rebus Regionalbus Rostock, a public transport operator serving the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, has ordered 47 ‘Urbino 12 hydrogen’ buses and 5 ‘Urbino 18 hydrogen’ articulated buses.

Van Hool will supply 54 units of the ‘A15LE E’ line of buses which are powered by two ZF ‘Axtrax’ wheel hub motors (2 x 140kW) and Akasol batteries providing up to 686 kWh energy capacity.

ABC offers two electric coach models, the Van Hool CX45E triaxle single high deck model and TDX25E triaxle double deck coach.

48 ‘Lion’s City 12 E’ buses are set to be delivered to Hamburg in late 2023/early 2024, with more to potentially follow as per the terms of the framework agreement signed by the two companies.

The Volvo subsidiary announced an order for five 40-foot electric buses from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, the public transport agency which serves the District of Columbia and surrounding parts of Maryland and Virginia in the USA.

The vehicles will be powered by BAE Systems’ third generation Series-E full hybrid drivetrain, consisting of a 250kW electric traction motor, a 150kW Euro 6 combustion engine, and a 1kWh ultracapacitor energy storage system.

The new Eletra e-bus is a collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Caio.

The 300 electric buses and 500 CNG buses will be delivered in batches over the course of this year to the capital city of Tashkent.

The order comprises a mixture of medium- to high-end models from the ‘C13 PRO’ or ‘ZK6138H’ range of 12.5-metre coaches.

As part of the agreement, TML Smart City Mobility Solutions Ltd will supply, operate, and maintain all 921 units 12-metre low-floor electric buses for a period of 12 years.

Stadtwerke Aschaffenberg Verkehrs has acquired 12 buses in total, ten of which are ‘Urbino 12 hydrogen’ models, while the remaining two are ‘Urbino 18 hydrogen’ articulated buses.
