"Vy Buss has ordered 73 battery-electric buses from Volvo Buses to support the planned shift to fully electric city operations in the Swedish city of Borås by April 2027. The electric bus procurement covers three vehicle types: 46 Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated units for high-capacity urban corridors, 14 Volvo 7900 Electric models, and 13 Volvo 8900 Electric buses intended for regional routes."
"The vehicles will be used across both city services and interurban connections, including operations to Viared, where Volvo Buses maintains a manufacturing facility. The order also reinforces the company's long-term industrial presence in Borås, where its production plant became one of the first bus factories globally to operate solely on renewable energy in 2020. Volvo Buses and local dealer Boråsbil will provide service contracts and depot solutions as part of the delivery framework."
