Kleanbus has completed the development of its first advanced modular electric platform, installing the pioneering system in its first prototype vehicle, an Optare Solo.

Combining e-powertrain components and proprietary software, Kleanbus “e-drivetrain in a box” can convert a bus, either single or double-decker, from ICE to fully electric quickly and economically.
Electric buses repowered by Kleanbus cost much less than a new electric bus, with one-third the operating costs of diesel buses, while electric buses repowered by Kleanbus cost much less than a new electric bus.

Kleanbus is now accelerating its prototype testing program. In parallel, the company is initiating pilot tests with major bus fleet operators.

Joe Tighe, Co-Founder and CEO of Kleanbus said: «Momentum is building rapidly with the completion of our ‘e-drivetrain in a box’ and the installation of this modular platform system into our first prototype. We are excited to accelerate our prototype testing programme, with pilot trials also starting this month with two bus operators. Leveraging the latest in proven components from leading Tier 1s, our technology agnostic solution enables us to create an adaptable system that can convert a diesel bus into a
state-of-the-art zero emission vehicle quickly and cost effectively. Kleanbus also provides the complete solution to bus operators, with innovative financing and charging as part of the total package, making it easy to go zero emission. The potential for repowering is huge: lower operating costs for bus operators and accelerating the transition to a clean future».
