Swedish Firm Premiers Electric Bus

The bus is equipped with a 384-kWh battery pack that allows for a range of 360 km.

As the race for e-mobility heats up, the Swedish-Kenyan technology company Roam has unveiled an electric bus aimed at public transportation. 

The 90-passenger mass transit vehicle, known as Rome Rapid, has space for both standing and sitting commuters.

The company said in a statement that they were looking to create a mobility solution that is inclusive, modern, efficient and sustainable.

“The focus for the bus has been to design a robust vehicle with best in class carrying capacity, range and comfort to enable mass adoption of clean transport across the continent,” said Dennis Wakaba, Roam project coordinator. 

The bus is equipped with a 384-kWh battery pack that allows for a range of 360 km.

It also has the ability to fully charge in less than 2 hours through DC charging ports, giving operators full flexibility to decide their charging and operating schedule.
