SCANIA IRIZAR HYBRID BUS HIRE
Self-Charging Comfort with Lower Emissions
Looking for a smart, sustainable transport solution that doesn’t rely on external charging infrastructure?
Kuuwa’s Scania Irizar Hybrid Bus is a self-charging, diesel-electric coach built for long distances, low emissions, and maximum comfort.
It’s the ideal solution for companies seeking to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing reliability or range. Whether you’re moving crews to site, running low-speed transfers, or managing remote operations, this hybrid coach offers a smooth and energy-efficient ride that’s ready for anything.
Hybrid Technology Built for the Real World.
The Scania Irizar Hybrid is technically a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), but in practice, it’s a self-sufficient solution that eliminates the need for costly charging infrastructure.
Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Electric power at low speeds: Perfect for mining and urban applications, the bus runs on electric drive from standstill up to around 40 km/h.
- Diesel assist when needed: Once higher speeds are reached, the Euro 6-compliant diesel engine engages smoothly, offering a combined range of over 2,100 km.
- Regenerative braking: Instead of relying on traditional braking systems, energy is captured during deceleration and sent back to the hybrid battery, improving efficiency.
- Self-charging operation: The system requires no plug-in charging and works seamlessly in remote or off-grid environments.
- Low-emissions advantage: The hybrid setup cuts fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions by approximately 25%, with even more savings possible when using renewable diesel or biodiesel.
Comfortable, Capable, and Customised
This is not just any coach. It’s designed for comfort, safety, and flexibility, making it perfect for FIFO operations, site shuttles, and long-distance crew movements.
