PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The bus body structure is made of 5 large modules that resemble wind power turbines or sports yachts construction concepts. Due to the modular structure assembly is simplified compared to other buses on the market. The composite structure is made of glass fibre, vinyl ester resin and recycled PET foam. Dancer body is ultra-light, strong and ready for re-recycling. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Vehicle length / Width / Height: 12,1 / 2,5 / 3,2 m Top speed: 70 km / h Average range: 90 - 110 km depending on conditions Charging time: 6 min for 100 km range Passengers overall: 100 plus driver Comforts: HVAC / USB for passengers / Automatic ramp / Skylight / Rear screen safety feature / 360 degree view cameras TAGS: Lightweight, fast charge, public transport, city bus, electric bus, e-bus, Dancer, Dancerbus RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The new bus body construction technology was invented in-house in cooperation with Klaipeda University. As a result of various scientific projects, new modular structure and composite material were developed. Modular structure concept simplifies assembling while the newly developed composite material ensures lightness and is ready for re-recycling. Similar modular concepts allowing large part assembly is new for a bus industry, thus widely used in wind turbine and sporting yachts engineering. CHALLENGE: While mainstream e-bus producers were only updating their regular buses, our main challenge was to rethink the bus construction, make it ultra-light, attractive for passengers and friendly for the environment.
