Irizar e-mobility says it is presenting its latest advances in electromobility at the fair in Milan
Two vehicles from the Irizar Global Group’s line of sustainable buses in the 12.16-metre long ie tram and a 12.75-metre Irizar i3le hybrid at its Next Mobility Exhibition Fair stand.
Irizar says the Irizar ie tram stands out for being a cutting edge environmentally friendly vehicle. The ie tram being shown at the fair is equipped with latest generation 430 kWh Irizar batteries and it has a 240 kW traction motor.
It has three doors, 22 seats for passengers (four for PRM), two areas for wheelchairs and prams, an accessibility ramp and it can hold up to 74 passengers.
Even though with this unit charging is done by slow charging in the garage with a combo two cable, Irizar’s zero-emissions buses can also be charged using a pantograph (inverted or roof mounted).
This model of bus is available in 12 and 18 metres and includes Irizar Group technology in its charging, drive and energy storage systems.
The Irizar i3le hybrid model is a low entry vehicle whose main characteristics are its functionality and accessibility.
The unit being shown is a body on a Scania full-hybrid chassis with a 9 litre 320 CV diesel engine, a 12 speed Scania Opticruise gearbox and a 130 kW electric motor between the diesel engine and the gearbox.

“Our zero-emissions buses continue being very well received in the European market.”
