Agrale, a leading bus and chassis manufacturer in South America, sought a trusted electrification partner to evolve its product line and meet increasing demand for zero-emission public transportation. With over 16,000 city buses in operation, Agrale faced the challenge of retrofitting existing platforms and launching new electric models suitable for diverse climate conditions and regulatory requirements across the continent.
РОЗВ'ЯЗКА:
Agrale selected Equipmake to develop a scalable electric drivetrain solution. Starting in 2024, Equipmake delivered 5 zero-emission drive units, all of which were successfully deployed and validated. In September 2025, Agrale placed a follow-up order worth £5.45 million for 50 full electric drivetrain systems, including Equipmake’s in-house designed motor, inverter, control system, and battery pack. The integration also included third-party component coordination and non-recurring engineering efforts.
ОСНОВНІ МОМЕНТИ ПРОЕКТУ:
- Equipped multiple bus types with modular drivetrain kits
- Deliveries to continue in batches through mid-2026
- System engineered for reliability in Latin American urban climates
- Expanded Equipmake’s order book to over £10 million
ЩО СКАЗАВ КЛІЄНТ:
“…the launch of this new cutting-edge electric bus, today at the C40 World Mayors Conference, is a landmark moment. I would like to thank our technology partner Equipmake, who has created a really advanced yet cost-effective electric bus. The technology exhibited by this vehicle can play a key role in improving urban air quality in our cities in South America, and also globally.”
