Volvo 7900 Electric

The Volvo 7900 Electric is a Swedish battery-electric city bus built by Volvo Buses, introduced in the mid-2010s as an electric variant of Volvo's existing 7900 low-floor city bus platform. Developed and first deployed as part of the ElectriCity partnership in Gothenburg, Sweden, a collaboration between Volvo, the city and local transit authorities to trial electric public transport on real passenger routes, the 7900 Electric was among the first full-size electric city buses put into regular commercial service in Europe rather than limited demonstration use. Its introduction was followed by wider adoption across Scandinavian and other European cities pursuing zero local-emission public transit, and by later, larger-capacity electric models from Volvo built on similar underlying technology.
