OREANDA-NEWS. Experts of KAMAZ PTC (part of Rostec State Corporation) took part in a meeting on the development of a new type of passenger transport means in Lipetsk. The largest Russian vehicle producer will offer an electric bus for testing operation.  

During the meeting options of replacement of non-effective passenger vehicles of the city's fleet were considered in the mayor's office of Lipetsk. Low-floor KAMAZ electric bus can become a decent alternative to trolley buses. 

The KAMAZ-6282 electric bus is adapted for low-mobility passengers, features a low floor, video cameras and satellite navigation. The total capacity of the passenger compartment is 85 people. Accumulators are 380 VAC. The bus can travel 100 kilometers per one 20-minute charge. The maximum speed is 65 km/h. The electric bus can be used at a temperature reaching -30 degrees Celsius.

The main advantages of the KAMAZ electric bus over transport means with an internal combustion engine are eco-friendliness, noiselessness, and operation economy. These buses can be purchased under a national subsidy program.
