The new e-bus is twelve metres long and has over 45 seats. For easier boarding and alighting, the bus can be lowered to pavement level and wheelchair users can use a fold-out ramp. In scheduled services, up to 85 passengers can be transported. With a capacity of 368 kWH, the battery provides a range of 300km and beyond. The fully electric vehicle replaces a conventional diesel bus.
The electric bus project for Borkumer Kleinbahn will be funded under the BMVI’s Electric Mobility Funding Guideline with a total of 110,000 euros by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. The funding guideline is coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by project administrator Projektträger Jülich (PtJ).
