The buses are being sold as a complete turnkey solution with Volvo providing all maintenance for the vehicles as well as their batteries, at a fixed monthly cost.

They start operating in summer 2019.

“We are very pleased that Norgesbuss has chosen Volvo as a partner in this exciting project,” says Svenn-Åge Lökken, sales manager, Volvo Buses Norway.

“We have gained considerable expertise in electromobility that we bring into the cooperation with Norgesbuss and we expect good synergies between the projects already started in Trondheim, Drammen and Lillehammer.”
