Mobility with a future

Urban population centers grow, the desire on the part of the population for mobility is increasing rapidly. Thus, public transport is booming as a result and there is an increase in demand for environmentally friendly means of transport. If urban zones reach their capacity limits and ecologically innovative traffic solutions are sought after – then the reliable HESS E-busses are an optimal choice.

lighTram® 10

The smallest eBus from the lighTram® family in the well-known HESS design. The light-flooded interior ensures that passenegers have a pleasant journey and, despite its "size", the two-axle vehicle has plenty of space for both people and luggage. Whether as a "shuttle" bus on neighbourhood streets in urban agglomerations with lots of traffic obstacles or as a "village bus" on the winding roads in the mountains: the lighTram® 10 is your reliable partner.

Thanks to its low-emission electrical drive, the lighTram® is the ideal means of transport for heavy urban traffic. As powerful as they are, they are quiet, economical in their energy consumption and returning recuperated braking energy. With its generous riding and seating comfort and ease of entry the lighTram® is as highly appreciated by bus companies as it is by passengers. Thanks to innovative, patented drive technology, with intelligent control, it impresses even in winter and topographically difficult conditions. Thanks to two steered axles, the 24,7m long vehicle has the manoeuvrability as normal articulated buses.
