"Volvo Buses' new BZR Electric coach chassis can be fitted with an enormous battery pack. With a modular design that can accommodate up to eight individual modules, the electric coach has a maximum range of up to 435 miles (700 kilometers). When fitted with the maximum number of battery modules, the energy capacity exceeds 700 kWh. This is Volvo Buses' new BZR Electric coach chassis, which can be fitted with one of the largest-capacity battery packs on the market for an impressive maximum driving range of 435 miles (700 kilometers) on a single charge."
"The BZR's chassis is available in three configurations, and its battery pack is split into individual modules. Each module stores 90 kilowatt-hours of energy, and the smallest battery pack, fitted to the shortest 4x2 version of the coach chassis, has four modules for a total capacity of 360 kWh.

"Each module is rated at 600 volts and weighs 1,180 pounds (535 kilograms), which means the largest battery pack tips the scales at a hefty 9,436 lbs (4,280 kg). Thankfully, the motors that provide motivation are more than capable of coping. The single-motor versions of Volvo's BZR electric coach have a maximum output of 268 horsepower (200 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque at the output shaft. After going through the two-speed automated transmission, though, that torque figure increases to a stratospheric 15,415 lb-ft (20,900 Nm).

Volvo Buses' BZR Electric coach chassis uses a modular battery design that accepts up to eight 90 kWh modules, producing a maximum capacity exceeding 700 kWh and a driving range up to 435 miles (700 km). The chassis comes in three configurations; the shortest 4x2 version holds four modules (360 kWh) while the longest 6x2 version can hold eight modules (720 kWh). Each module is rated at 600 volts and weighs 1,180 pounds (535 kg), making the largest pack about 9,436 lbs (4,280 kg). Powertrain options include single- and dual-motor setups with two-speed transmission torque multiplication. Charging options include CCS2 up to 250 kW and OppCharge.
