2. About the ALFA Bus Company's "e-City L6" small EV bus

ALFA Bus Company's EV buses run on electricity from the battery, so they do not emit exhaust gas and have excellent environmental performance, such as zero CO2 emissions. The on-board battery can also be used as an emergency power source, and by installing an AC outlet in the rear of the bus that can be used from the outside, the bus can serve as a disaster prevention station at evacuation centers in the event of a disaster. The small EV bus, the "e-City L6" is only about 6m in length, taking into consideration the road conditions in Japan, and has a spacious interior that can accommodate 29 passengers, equivalent to a 7m-long class bus, by distributing the batteries to the rear and roof. The “e-City L6” was launched in March 2024 in Japan market.  The first vehicle was delivered to Yamanashi Kotsu Co., Ltd. in April, and is now in operation as a shuttle bus between Kofu Station and Kiratto, a next-generation energy promotion facility in Yonekura-yama, Yamanashi Prefecture.
