VDL Bus & Coach is to launch an all-new purely electric version of its Citea city bus at the Busworld exhibition in Bmssels in October and has confirmed that they will be manufactured in the Netherlands and Belgium. Since announcing its first electric Citea in 2013, the Dutch-owned manufacturer has supplied 770 for operation in 10 countries and produces them in various lengths from 9.9m midi to 18.7m bendybus. It also continues to build Citea diesels. The new model will be available initially in four lengths and has been designed solely with an electric driveline. Its bodywork will incorporate a composite sidewall that VDL says is 15% lighter than metal. The battery pack will be integrated into the floor to ensure better weight distribution, greater stability and increased passenger capacity. |
