eShuttle
Highlights
A fully low-floor M3 electric shuttle for urban, airport, campus and controlled-route applications, available in 6.9 m and 8.4 m configurations.
The eShuttle carries up to approximately 45 passengers, depending on length, seating, standing and approval configuration, with up to two spaces for passengers with reduced mobility (configuration-dependent). Left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive derivatives are available, with up to four electric plug-sliding doors (configuration-dependent) and a fully walk-through low-floor passenger area.
Modular NMC battery and charging options allow the vehicle to be configured for the duty cycle, route profile and operating model, supporting a compelling Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Vehicles are supplied in approved configurations for the relevant market. The current programme uses individual vehicle approval, supported by applicable UN-ECE requirements including R107 for M3 passenger vehicles. Approval scope depends on vehicle configuration and jurisdiction.
The steel structure of the vehicle is self-supporting and integrates the drive motor(s) in the rear segment of the vehicle chassis. In order to optimise the centre of gravity and the driving performance, as well as safety, the battery packs are positioned in the vehicle floor. The body of the vehicle is built in a modular manner and based on carry-over parts, which reduces spare parts complexity. The fully walk-through low-floor permits maximum flexibility when it comes to the seat layout.
In terms of exterior as well as interior design, eVersum sets new standards. A lot of light inside the vehicle, an optional panorama roof, high-quality vinyl floors in various surface optics and a custom-designed dashboard embedding the driver’s working place, distinguish eVersum’s eShuttle clearly from competitors.
Audio-visual passenger information systems, cash register or payment collection systems and other functional systems can be integrated in the vehicle according to customer demands. A wheelchair ramp (manual or automatic) integrated in the vehicle floor can be offered as well. The mirror-replacement system (Orlaco Stoneridge) increases road safety in all weather conditions and helps reduce accidents.
Battery capacity and charging configuration are selected for the duty cycle, vehicle length, passenger load and climatic conditions. The modular NMC battery system is integrated in the vehicle floor, which supports a low centre of gravity and allows capacity to be scaled to the application without compromising the fully walk-through low-floor passenger area.
Charging options are configured per project and market. Final battery and charging values are released with the approved technical data sheets following technical sign-off.
The specification may include optional items and is subject to change without prior notice.
