RAC EV Bus
RAC-700

Taiwan’s first all-electric bus to be accredited by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications is now operational and deployed by the Taipei Bus, Hsinchu Bus, and Kaohsiung Bus Companies.

The RAC EV Bus is an energy-efficient, zero carbon footprint electric bus that effectively curbs noise and air pollution in urban centers. Designed for easier and safer access for the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, and children, the bus features an ergonomic low-floor entrance, a wheelchair and guide dog area, as well as a dedicated storage compartment. This also reduces idle time in bus stops and greatly decreases operating costs for mass transit systems while enhancing efficiency. The bus offers a quiet, stable and comfortable experience for passengers, with acceleration and gradeability that excels over conventional diesel-powered buses
