Volvo Buses has been awarded a contract from Vy Buss for the delivery of 73 new electric buses.
The new buses will enter operation both in and around the city of Borås, Sweden.
With a scheduled completion date of April 2027; the order consists of 46 Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated buses, 14 Volvo 7900 Electric, and 13 Volvo 8900 Electric buses.
Martin Spjern, Country Manager Sweden at Volvo Buses., said:It is especially rewarding to receive this order for the city of Borås, the place where much of our bus manufacturing has its roots.
With this investment, all city bus traffic in Borås will be fully electrified, marking a significant step forward for sustainable public transport in the region.
The new fleet will serve both city operations and regional routes, including Viared – which is home to Volvo Buses’ manufacturing facility, one of the first bus factories globally to run entirely renewable energy.
Each vehicle will feature increased seating capacity and improved accessibility, including dual wheelchair areas and flexible interior layouts.
Production of the buses will be handled via a combined manufacturing process, with chassis built at Volvo Buses’ facility in Borås and bodywork supplied by the company’s partner, MCV.
