Electric bus shown to potential Irish operators

A new electric bus may be going into service in Ireland soon, following a presentation to potential buyers by importers Harris Group, writes Brian Byrne.

The China-made Steed, an acronym for Sustainable Transport Electric Energy Delivered, is built by the Higer company and has a passenger capacity of 48 and a claimed operational range of over 200kms.

Its own CCS2 DC fast-charging infrastructure provides a full charge in less than two hours.

The bus is also fully wheelchair accessible.
