Key Advantages
Why Operators Choose
the D-Series Electric
the D-Series Electric
Zero emissions, lower operating costs, and the same built-to-last quality as the gas D-Series.
Zero emissions
No exhaust, no toxic emissions, and significantly reduced engine and road noise. A cleaner ride for passengers and a cleaner footprint for your organization.
Up to 320 km of range
Adaptive regenerative braking maximizes range on every route, from dense urban corridors to longer rural runs with 25% grade capability.
Lower operating costs
Fewer moving parts, no oil changes, and reduced brake wear mean less time in the shop and more time on the road.
Fast, flexible charging
Level 2 (19.2 kW) charges fully in 7–9 hours. Level 3 DCFC (100 kW) reaches 80% in under 1.5 hours. V2G ready for energy cost optimization.
All-weather ready
Advanced active battery heating and cooling ensures reliable performance in any climate, year-round.
Quiet, insulated interior
Fibreglass insulation and a completely sealed floor block out dust, moisture, and noise for a more comfortable ride.
