Even over long distances, the second overdrive gear ensures very comfortable ride and heavy vehicles easily manage up to 12% inclines in second gear.

Bus operators order Wrightbus Kite Hydroliner buses with Voith VEDS; 150 units by 2025, 9% of German CVD buses use alternatives.

With UK bus manufacturers Alexander Dennis and Wrightbus fully embracing the VEDS (Voith Electrical Drive System), Voith has been instrumental in boosting the use of zero-emission public transport in the UK and Ireland.

Cutting-edge TwinSave technology contributes to up to 15 percent energy and CO2 savings in non-delivery mode.

Since the beginning of 2023, the HD version of the Voith Electrical Drive System (VEDS) has been an integral part of the first H2 truck (FCEV) to be built in Germany: the Paul Hydrogen Power Truck (PH2P).

High-performance fan reduces energy and fuel consumption, making a key contribution to CO2 reduction. Special blade and fan housing geometry reduces noise emissions from entire unit.

Northern Irish bus manufacturer Wrightbus has chosen Voith as its exclusive partner for the supply of the electrical drive system for the second generation of its battery-electric (BEV) and fuel cell (FCEV) buses for Europe. In future, the company will equip all these vehicles with the Voith Electrical Drive System (VEDS) as standard. As early as August 2021, Wrightbus will deliver the first of 80 StreetDeck BEV double-decker buses with VEDS to Translink, the largest bus operator in Northern Ireland, who plans to operate the new double-decker buses in the public transport networks of Belfast and Derry.

Voith is equipping a total of 246 MAN Lion’s City solo and articulated buses with DIWA.6 automatic transmissions.

The DIWA.6 automatic transmission reduces fuel consumption by up to five percent and thus protects the environment.
