This is such an breakthrough in urban mobility. Interested on how the Pantogram (however you call the overhead wire charger) how long does it takes to charge? . How much power they have on the batteries. At what voltage does that charge? It must be a huge discharge of electricity to charge it in say 30 minutes a whole bus battery
I can't find any information on the exact voltage but all the press material claims that it takes 6 minutes for a charge. In theory, the opportunity charging at the end of each route means that the buses don't need to go back to the depot for a charge during the day. That way they can serve a route with a PVR of 17 with only 20 buses.
Is this Turkish? We can't make even such a plain bus anymore? WTF. This is much simpler to any thermodynamic engine. Given the level of automation today this should be done in the UK
Honestly, Why do you care? The Mercedes Citaros currently on the 358 were built in Germany and France, MCV EvoSeti and Evolutions were built in Egypt and The Scania Omnicitys were built in Denmark, Sweden and Poland.

very Good. Great Video.
Thank you. 😊
Very nice, modern, smart and no toxic emissions………… until like the cars, the battery pack decides to go into thermal runaway!
It feels strange to see a tram-bus or a bus that does look like a tram. Who designed it?

4:22 such a ugly font.
It doesn't really suit the modern display.
@@SuttonBusesagreed.
What an awful looking vehicle.
I can see how it's not to everyone's taste, but I quite like the design personally.

Irizar are a Spanish company. You may be thinking of Isuzu?
Turkish metrobuses are just articulated mercedes buses
