Volvo Buses currently offers two all-electric bus models - the standard 12m 7900 Electric and its 18m articulated version - both are produced in Wroclaw, Poland.

The production of Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated, which can take up to 150 passengers, was shown in the new video with a lot of details.

The chassis for the 7900 comes from Sweden, but the rest of the assembly, including installation of electric powertrain (2x 200 kW plus a 2-speed transmission) and the battery (up to 396 kWh) takes place in Wroclaw. The plant has made hybrids since 2008.
