Mornings in the city. Quiet streets, cold air, and commuters already on the move. This is where public transit makes the biggest difference – not in grand gestures, but in the silence between two red lights. In comfort, uptime, and cleaner air. Across Europe, cities big and small are shifting to electric fleets – a silent revolution rolling out in every corner. The new Volvo 8900 Electric is ready to be part of that shift – built for Nordic conditions and designed to electrify both commuter and intercity routes. What route would you like to see it on first? #Volvobuses #Volvo8900Electric #ElectricBus
