La Veloz in Spain, a company belonging to the Samar Group, will incorporate two new electric buses manufactured by Irizar e-mobility to their urban fleet. The model they chose is the 12-metre-long Irizar ie bus. Delivery of the units is scheduled for the end of this month. They will provide service for the Rivas Vaciamadrid urban lines, which are managed by the Regional Transport Consortium of Madrid.
The Irizar ie bus has the latest generation Irizar batteries, three doors, 30 seats (4 are reserved for people with reduced mobility - PRM), and it has spaces specifically designed for wheelchairs, which makes it accessible and guarantees smooth circulation inside. In addition, there are charging points on both sides of the vehicle, located over the first axle, and it is compatible with the Combo 2 garage charging system. “After years of having a close relationship with the Samar
Group in terms ofbuying Irizar buses, the time has come to take the leap to electric mobility. We’re extremely proud to keep being a key technological partner of the Samar Group”, said Iñigo Azcona, Commercial Director of Irizar e-mobility for Spain and Portugal. Samar Group has set out to improve the air quality in the cities where they operate and move towards a completely electric fleet in the next few years.
