Technical requirements: Skyss requests input from bus suppliers on fully electric bus models that can be priced in autumn 2023 and delivered in spring 2025. The information will be useful for working out bus specifications and requirements.
Skyss is the mobility company for Vestland County. We organise public transport and work for sustainable mobility for all inhabitants in our county. One of our goals is to base all vehicles on zero emission technology.
Skyss is now working on holding tender contests for the bus contracts in the districts in Vestland County, specifically Nordfjord, Hardanger/Voss, and Modalen/Vaksdal.
In order to ensure sufficient competition in the supplier market, we must assess the requirements for buses, route production, and emissions against the products that are available in the market. Skyss is therefore thankful for you taking the time to respond to this enquiry.
See the additional information for our questions on relevant bus models, technical specifications as general specifications, passenger specifications, propulsion, energy store, and heating, as well as safety and delivery.
We are interested in fully electric models that can be priced in a tender that will be announced in autumn 2023, with an operational start-up in June 2025. Relevant bus models must fulfil the requirements in Bus Nordic 1. We ask that you name relevant models and categorise them according to size and type:
Length (mm), ground clearance (mm), turning radius (mm), axel distance (mm), overhang front and back (mm), net weight (kg), floor type (low floor, low entry, normal floor, other).
Seat capacity with Bus Nordic requirements (number of seats excluding the driver and folding seats, wheelchair spaces, noted as '+1'). Specify the seat capacity for different configurations if relevant.
- If it is an option, what is the consequence of this option for other specifications, such as the number of seats, battery capacity, and baggage room?
Engine power (kW), battery capacity (kWt): Specify the battery capacity (and any range) for different configurations if relevant. Average energy consumption for propulsion: If available, specify for Norwegian urban areas and Norwegian district areas (kWt/km). Any possibilities for four-wheel drive.
Charging effect with different charging systems: Specify the charging effect (kW) for CCS and any pantograph or otherwise.
Heating: Specify the technical systems (diesel or electric, heat pump) as standard and/or option. What temperature requirements is the system dimensioned to fulfil? Preferably specify the fuel/energy consumption depending on the difference between the outside and inside temperature.
Describe the constructions that look after the driver and passengers; UNECE-R29, UNECE-R93, UNECE-R60 (roll-over) and similar (A-post with reinforcement driver side B post).
Baggage capacity in the baggage area under the floor (excluding hat shelves) (m^3). How does the baggage capacity affect battery capacity and vice versa?
- If it is an option, what is the consequence of this option for the other specifications, such as the number of seats, battery capacity, and baggage space (for normal floor buses)?
