Cape Town Orders 38 Volvo Electric Buses With Bodies Built in Johannesburg
Cape Town has ordered 38 battery-electric buses for its public transport network, with delivery scheduled from 2027, according to electrive. The bus bodies will be built by the Gauteng Bus and Coach Centre in Johannesburg.
Rob Quintas said the order covers a minimum of 38 buses and that the number may increase with funding availability. The vehicles will be paid for through Public Transport National Grant funding, according to Quintas.
On the technical side, electrive reports that the Volvo BZR LE Electric powertrain delivers either 200 kW or 400 kW. Battery capacity reaches up to 630 kWh nominally.
