Scania unveils new hybrid, battery-electric buses
19 October 2017
At Busworld in Kortrijk, Belgium, Scania unveiled the hybrid Scania Interlink Low Decker and the battery-electric Scania Citywide bus.
The Scania Interlink Low Decker is presently available for diesel, biodiesel, HVO, CNG/CBG, ethanol and, with the latest addition, hybrid. It complements the Scania Citywide Low Entry Suburban, which is also available for the full range of alternative fuels as well as in a hybrid mode.
Scania is also premiering its battery-electric Scania Citywide Low Floor bus at Busworld. This bus will go on sale in 2018.
This may be one of the best interim solution for electrified buses operating in very cold areas, at least until 3X to 4X lower cost batteries (or FCs) are available?
