Kleanbus can deliver a unique ‘repower’ solution to transform diesel-powered single or double-decker buses into zero-emission, electrically powered vehicles and extending the life of the embedded carbon expended in creating the base vehicle.
For one-fifth of the cost of a new electric bus, Kleanbus’ environmentally friendly solution is based upon state-of-the-art e-powertrain technology developed in-house by Kleanbus, designed specifically for use in buses.
Positioning itself as the partner of choice for rapid, low-cost transition to zero emissions, Kleanbus can help commercial operators meet stringent new environmental targets as the industry transitions toward electrification.
