The Arctic Whisper: The World's First Fast-Charged Hybrid Bus Debuts in Umeå, Sweden
The Arctic Whisper's hybrid bus batteries will be fast charged by the Opbrid Bůsbaar for 5-10 minutes at the end of its route to achieve nearly 100% all-electric operation but with the reliability of diesel. The world's first fast rechargeable hybrid bus is now being tested in Umeå City in a collaboration between the companies Hybricon AB, Opbrid SL, e-Traction BV, Umeå Energi AB and the Umeå City Corporation.
