Volvo Buses has received its first order for the company’s new hybrid bus, Volvo 7700 Hybrid. Sales-Lentz, a bus operator in Luxembourg, has ordered six hybrid buses with delivery starting in 2009.
A few weeks ago Volvo Buses launched its new Volvo 7700 Hybrid bus model. As a result of hybrid components developed by Volvo and fuel savings of up to 30%, it is an economically attractive hybrid bus.
Many of Europe’s bus operators have shown major interest in the new hybrid bus and Volvo Buses has now received its first order. Luxembourg’s largest travel and transport company Sales-Lentz has ordered six hybrid buses.
The order was signed in the presence of Luxembourg’s Transportation and Environment Minister at a large transportation symposium arranged by Sales –Lentz. The topic discussed during the symposium was how public transport can contribute to fulfilling the Kyoto Protocol.
The buses will be used in normal route traffic in and around Luxembourg City, preferably on stretches with frequent stops so that the hybrid technology can be fully optimized.
The first bus will be delivered to Sales-Lentz in autumn 2009 and the other five in 2010 when series production begins.
