MT17.0 LE

This battery electric bus low entry chassis has been designed to deliver a smooth and emission free ride. 

Integrated into the Agrale MT17.0 LE chassis is Equipmake’s advanced propulsion technology; the HTM 3500 motor combines high torque with low motor speeds and is fitted directly onto the propshaft negating the need for a separate gearbox. 

The unit produces maximum torque of 3,500Nm at just 1,000rpm and offers maximum power of 400kW. It is driven by a Semikron SKAI inverter with energy stored in a configurable lithium-ion battery pack – with the 390kWh pack being enough for a range of up to 200 miles on a single charge, enabling more than enough daily operating mileage. 

MT17.0 LE’s efficiency is made possible by Equipmake’s HVAC, one of the most efficient thermal management systems on the market, which keeps the motor, inverter and battery at optimum operating temperature, featuring a water-glycol cooling circuit augmented by the capture of thermal energy to heat the interior in cold conditions. 

When the battery is depleted, it can be simply recharged at the depot overnight using a CSS DC charging point. 

Equipmake partnered with Argentinen chassis manufacturer to develop and build the electric low entry bus chassis MT17.0 LE. The chassis frame is manufactured by Agrale, and powertrain ZED is made by Equipmake.
