Belgian manufacturer Van Hool has build the world's first 100% battery electric double-deck coach: the TDX25E. The vehicle can seat up to 69 passengers (18 on the lower deck and 51 on the upper deck). Van Hool claims it has a range of up to 500km (310 miles) 'depending on the climatological conditions and the route's topography.' The vehicle has been build with the US market in mind, aimed at the employee commuter market and regular passenger transport. The news was released exactly one year after Van Hool shipped its first 100% battery electric coach, the CX45E, to the US. So far, 22 units have been sold. Both the CX45E and the new TDX25E use a Siemens power train and Proterra batteries. |
