"The contracts mark the first Norwegian orders for Volvo Buses' latest long-range electric coach platform based on the Volvo BZR Electric chassis paired with a Carrus Delta body. The vehicles will be deployed in tour and charter, airport shuttle and cruise passenger transport services, expanding the presence of battery-electric solutions in long-distance coach operations in the country."
"The model is built on the Volvo BZR Electric coach chassis and equipped with a body supplied by Carrus Delta. The platform is designed for long-distance operations and is offered with up to 720 kWh of installed battery capacity. Volvo Buses states that the vehicle can reach a range of up to 700 kilometres under SORT 3 conditions."
"As all buses from Volvo following the decision in 2023 to stop producing complete buses for Europe, the Volvo electric coach will be produced in collaboration with bodybuilders partners. The first Volvo BZR Electric coach chassis has already been bodied by Carrus Delta and is intended for customers in the Nordic and Benelux markets."
Volvo Buses has received orders for 15 Volvo BZR Electric-CD coaches from six Norwegian operators, representing the first Norwegian contracts for this latest long-range electric coach platform. The vehicles combine the Volvo BZR Electric chassis with Carrus Delta bodywork and will serve tour and charter, airport shuttle, and cruise passenger transport services. The coaches feature up to 720 kWh battery capacity and achieve ranges up to 700 kilometres under SORT 3 conditions. Available in lengths from 9.5 to 14.9 metres with various axle configurations, these vehicles expand battery-electric solutions in Norwegian long-distance coach operations. First deliveries are scheduled for autumn 2026.
