QUANTRON introduces new CIZARIS 12m electric bus; BEV first, fuel cell model next year

Green Car Congress

In doing so, the designers are drawing on a vehicle platform that has proven itself hundreds of times over in Asia’s largest electric bus markets in recent years. It has an output of 145/245 kW (nominal/maximum) and a maximum engine torque of 1,055/3,329 N·m, which is developed without any gear changes.
