The switch from ICE (internal combustion engine) to electric is well underway and Minibus World is already a leader in the supply of the new generation of vehicles. Supported by manufacturers including Stellantis Group (Peugeot, Vauxhall, Citroen, Fiat), Maxus and Ford, we have a range of electric Minibuses on offer.
Just like a traditional diesel Minibus, our electric Minibuses can carry up to 16 passengers and be made accessible with electric lifts and grab rails. The main change is obviously the power supply. As we are seeing with electric cars, this is an exciting market segment which is developing constantly.
Electric Minibus
With zero emissions, low running cost, automatic gearboxes, instant torque and near silent motors, electric Minibuses offer a compelling proposition in the right environment. Packed with technology, an electric Minibus is easy to drive and live with, perfect for the school, hospital or social club run.
Our customers love the instant response and torque from the electric motor, making an electric Minibus nippy in traffic, while delivering environmental benefits having zero emissions.
The main benefits of an electric Minibus include zero emissions. If you are operating in a congestion zone the electric Minibus wins hands down. Running costs – less components to service and cheaper fuel (when charging using a domestic or business supply) and lower road tax. Drivability – instant quiet power and automatic gearbox contribute to a great driver and passenger experience. Fast charging – the Ford E Transit can go from 10-80% in just 28 mins.
Considerations include range, the new E Transit has 249 miles (which should deliver 160-180 miles in real world driving). Perfect for the daily school run. Up front cost – electric Minibuses tend to be more expensive, but as mentioned the running costs should be lower. You do the math as they say! Weight – due to the weight of the batteries it is important to check vehicle weight and whether it sits below the D1 licence requirement. Recently the government has increased the weight limit to 5,000kg with accessibility equipment.
An electric Minibus is versatile and used by a broad range of organisations. The vehicle is perfectly suited to multiple short journeys rather than extended trips. Let our team give you the full rundown.
With no CO2 emissions, a silent powertrain when compared to a traditional diesel and lower maintenance due to fewer moving parts, the electric Minibus has a number of strengths.
