    The BZL is best e-bus offering around at the moment in my opinion. The 2 stage transmission eliminates all of the traditional flat spots and slow initial acceleration of most other electric buses. And I love how simple and driver-friendly the cab is. You could just be sitting in a Eclipse 2 cab! Well done Volvo and MCV.

      I feel like the way volvo make buses are somewhat similar to cars (Mechanical wise). Like when u hear the B5LH (or all ishifts) they sound like a minivan
      CORRECTION: It's gearboxes. Volvo placed gearboxes even in hybrids and evs. And evidently they work very well.

      I think your joking, right….? For a start the first thing I would ask myself is, “where exactly would you charge a bus on a Main Street and it - and many other buses- not cause a *slight* issue with other road users and pedestrians. Seriously, your not taking a 40 footer home and sticking it in your driveway 😊
