A cooperation of the Czech SOR and the Hungarian Ganz Transelektro Közlekedési Berendezéseket Gyártó Ltd. (GTKB) developed the Hungarian electric minibus. The new vehicle was manufactured in a Baja factory.
According to origo.hu, the new Hungarian electric minibus is 8 metres long and can carry 45 passengers. Its range is 300 kilometres. Hungarian engineers developed the bus’ engine and the software, while the chassis arrived from Czechia. The prototype made its first trip in Budapest’s City Park, and the Baja plant is ready to produce 50 of it yearly.
The development of the minibus took three years, and the vehicle is designed to help public transport in big cities. Based on Origo, demand for such buses worldwide is significant.
Ganz developed an OpCharge-type charger and a 120 kW charging device.
