UNVI factory tour for students of the University Programme for Employment and Autonomous Life.
The coachbuilder and bus manufacturer UNVI has been awarded the latest international public tender issued by the Ourense City Council. The public transport of the city will incorporate 10 UNVI 100% electric buses into its fleet.
This new purchase is part of the renewal strategy for the aging urban fleet that the city council announced months ago and is complemented by the European recovery funds granted by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA) of Spain.
The vehicles, which will come into operation within 12 months, will complete the renovation of a more ecological, accessible and safer mobility service for the inhabitants of this city and will not use any type of fossil fuel for its operation, having more than 400 kWh as the only source of energy, contributing to a cleaner city, with less pollution and quieter.
The chosen model is the UNVI eC21, 12 meters long, with two doors and two axles, of which there are already several dozen circulating in Europe since 2018. They have capacity for more than 80 passengers, with 35 seats for seated passengers and 1 wheelchair accessible area. According to the requirements of the tender specifications, the vehicle will have a range of more than 16 hours of use and 250 km with air conditioning in operation.
UNVI will also supply the external chargers with standard CCS2 plug with overnight charging system.
