A compact electric bus: e-CENTRO C

With an electric motor with a maximum power of 200 kW and a maximum torque of 1200 Nm, the 6.6 meter e-CENTRO C does not compromise performance even on the steepest hills. The bus stands out with its lightness and lower operating costs, providing reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and better range for public transport operators.

Furthermore, the regenerative braking feature enables up to 25 percent energy recovery from braking and deceleration in urban traffic.
Positioning the batteries under the floor creates wide and spacious interior and enables the bus to carry up to 32 passengers. Featuring a low-floor design, e-CENTRO C delivers comfortable rides for all passengers, including people with disabilities or those with strollers.
