GAZ Group presented a fuel cell bus and other promising models at INNOPROM 2022

From July 4 to July 7, Yekaterinburg is hosting the XII International Exhibition INNOPROM 2022, where a large space is allocated for new generation vehicles. Besides Russian, manufacturers from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Armenia presented their expositions here. The status of the exhibition was emphasized by the visit of the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who saw the exhibits and explored the cab of a brand-new electric bus. At INNOPROM 2022, Gorky Automobile Plant presented its lineup of vehicles running on different types of fuel - diesel, electricity, hydrogen. The focus was on new technologies that ensure no harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

This is probably why the greatest interest was attracted by a large-capacity electric bus and a fuel cell bus. The E-CITYMAX 12 electric bus is a promising development of a new generation. It belongs to large-class vehicles; its capacity is 85 passenger seats. The drive range of this promising model has been increased up to 200 km on a single charge. There are three ways to charge the batteries: ultra-fast pantograph charging (in 1.5 hours), fast pistol charging (in 2.5 hours) and night charging (in 7 hours). The power plant complies with the Zero Emission international environmental standard, that means that there are no harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The GAZel City fuel cell bus is an electric bus powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Only water vapor is emitted into the atmosphere during its operation. According to the GAZ Group’s press service, the range of this vehice is 350 km. The bus is designed to carry 22 passengers.
