The transition to environmentally friendly public transport is one of the most important aspects of the development of million-plus cities. And Samara begins a progressive movement in this direction, - said the acting. Head of the city of Samara Ivan Noskov. - The test launch of the General electric bus will take place along route 108 - from the Samara Provincial Market to the Yuzhny sports complex. This is more than 19 kilometers. It is important that the manufacturer of the electric bus will first train drivers who will work on the route.

Samara already has experience in operating such a type of public transport as an electric bus, and residents of the city were able to appreciate its convenience and environmental friendliness. I am sure that our "General" will also deserve high praise from passengers and the operating organization. Thanks to the innovative combination charging, which has no analogues in the world, it can be charged from three different power sources. Therefore, our electric bus easily fits into any transport infrastructure. In addition, thanks to the increased capacity of the traction battery, it is capable of passing up to 100 km without recharging, - said Alexander Dubrovkin, General Director of PC Transport Systems.

In addition to a more capacious traction battery, the updated "General" is equipped with a smart and multifunctional charger that allows you to charge from the contact network of electric vehicles, the charging station or from the 380V outlet. In addition, the driver can adjust the charging current directly from the control panel. Dynamic charging from the contact network allows you to charge batteries without delay and maintain high speed. Also in the updated version of the electric bus, the developers of the "PC TS" improved the driver's workplace and proposed new options for the location of the seats in the cabin.

For the comfort of passengers in the cabin there is a climate control system, information media panels and USB charging for gadgets. And the low floor of the electric bus makes travel possible for people with limited mobility.
