Electric buses in 2026
During 2026, we will be introducing new electric buses to our fleet. The first electric buses to enter service will operate on the Citylinjen, routes 1 and 2 in Örebro.
The buses are powered by rechargeable batteries, which are charged overnight at the Bettorp depot in Örebro. They are also equipped with a range of comfort and safety features, including digital cameras instead of traditional rear view mirrors.
Appearance of the electric buses
The electric buses will have two different designs. One design is for the buses operating on Citylinjen, and another for those running as regular city buses.
Appearance of the electric buses
The electric buses operating in Örebro have two different designs. The buses used on regular city services feature a blue wave on the exterior and an interior similar to that of the current city buses.
The buses operating on the Citylinjen have their own distinctive design, both inside and out. They can be recognised by the green line running from the front along the side of the bus. The same green colour is also reflected in the Citylinjen stops along the route.
The interior is bright and modern, featuring grey handrails and poles, with purple seating that creates a welcoming and comfortable travel environment.
