мир перевернулся что ли? Daewoo-Avia в Штатах!?

MAR 28, 2012

Last fall, Trans Tech unveiled its eTrans electric school bus at the National Association of Pupil Transportation’s annual conference and trade show in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The vehicle has an aerodynamic design, 42-passenger capacity, and a 120 kw-induction motor, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 50 mph. And it has a trip range of approximately 100 to 130 miles per charge from its lithium-ion batteries depending on load and driving conditions.

The bus takes six to eight hours to recharge virtually anywhere with its onboard recharging system. A small auxiliary power unit, fueled by compressed natural gas or propane, powers the bus’s heat and air conditioning systems.

Trans Tech Bus has launched its eTrans production pilot program and will begin full-scale production later this year.

Schools will soon be able to take advantage of a green solution for transporting their students to and from school in the form of Trans Tech's eTrans pure electric school bus. Equipped with a 161hp electric motor powered by two 278-volt lithium-ion battery packs, the eTrans has a 100- to 130-mile range and can reach speeds of 50mph, more than appropriate for a city run. It also features an auxiliary unit fueled by compressed natural gas or propane, which runs the heating and a/c system.

Manufacturer Trans Tech Bus will soon offer its customers a "green" solution for transporting students to and from school with its eTrans electric-only bus.

The 42-passenger school bus will be equipped with a 120-kW (161-horsepower) electric motor powered by a pair of 278-volt lithium-ion battery packs. Moreover, the eTrans features an auxiliary unit fueled by either compressed natural gas or propane and that runs the bus' heating and air conditioning systems.

The eTrans' range depends on operating conditions, but Trans Tech claims bus drivers will be able to go approximately 100 to 130 miles on a charge. The bus' top speed checks in at a city-capable 50 miles per hour.

The eTrans was officially unveiled on October 23 and is scheduled to launch in limited numbers in early 2012. Full-scale production is set to commence in mid-to late 2012.
