We, of course, are very interested in how such a technique will show itself in Krasnoyarsk. The electric bus is very beautiful, looks bright, manufacturers promise good opportunities. For Krasnoyarsk, the issues of ensuring long-term charging, the ability to recharge from different types of contact networks, work on long routes are relevant, our city is geographically very long, "elongated" along the Yenisei. And of course, the environmental component is also important and interesting. We are very glad that the manufacturers offered to test such an electric bus to our own municipal enterprise. They have a lot of experience, there is something to compare with. I think it will be very interesting, - said  Igor Manchenko, deputy head of the department of urban economy and transport of the Krasnoyarsk administration for the organization of passenger traffic.

We are glad to present the General electric bus in such a large and dynamically developing city as Krasnoyarsk. This is a transport that, thanks to combined charging, is easily integrated into the city transport network, "said Alexander Miroshnik, commercial director of PC Transport Systems.

During the tests, the electric bus will be tested on various city routes, which will allow assessing its operation in real conditions of the urban environment.

On September 19, 2024, as part of the training of the driver's personnel, the General electric bus passed 108 km without recharging in urban mode with imitation of stops with a remaining charge of more than 35%.

The General electric bus provides a high level of passenger comfort thanks to climate control systems, information media panels and USB charging for gadgets. Its low-floor design makes transport accessible to low-mobility passengers. Particular attention is paid to the driver's workplace, which has been improved in the updated version of the model.

One of the main innovations of the electric bus is its combined charging system. It can be charged from the contact network of electric vehicles, a charging station or an outlet on the 380V. This flexibility allows you to maintain uninterrupted transport and easily integrate the "General" into the existing transport infrastructure. The driver can also adjust the charging current using the control panel. Thanks to the increased capacity of the traction battery, the electric bus is able to travel up to 100 km without recharging.
