Spotlight On The IVECO E-WAY H2: Less Weight, 15% More Passenger Capacity

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Sustainable Bus.

This is the sub-heading.

Up to seven time less batteries than a BEV bus (one module instead of 7), with 15% more passengers. These are the specifications mostly stressed by IVECO BUS when outlining the features of IVECO BUS E-WAY H2, presented at Busworld 2023 in Brussels. The bus model derives directly from the E-WAY BEV bus model

Note.

1. The hydrogen fuel cell technology is from Hyundai.
2. The bus is designed to be lighter in weight, which increases passenger capacity from 93 to 111 and gives an enhanced range.
3. The driveline is from Accelera by Cummins, with a Siemens electric motor.
4. IVECO provide the front axle and ZF the rear.
5. Surprisingly, the bus is assembled from stainless steel panels, onto a steel floor.

It strikes me, that if the late great Colin Chapman had designed a bus, it would follow some of IVECO’s design.

Conclusion

This bus could set the standard for hydrogen-powered buses.

I particularly liked the saving in lithium compared to an electric bus.
