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.
