THE HIGER AZURE
12 METER ELECTRIC BUS
THE COMPASS CHALLENGE
To demonstrate the groundbreaking range capabilities of the Higer AZURE, we embarked on the Compass Challenge, a 254km journey from Dublin to Cork on a single charge. Putting “Range Anxiety” to bed, once and for all.
The AZURE is a truly impressive vehicle, boasting a range of over 450KMs on a single charge. Paired with modern luxuries and remarkable safety and comfort features, it’s the zero emissions, commercial transport solution that city travel has been calling out for.
See how the AZURE performed below:
A TRUE GAMECHANGER
We all know that it can be a long wait for a bus and then suddenly two arrive at once.
This is the case with the ALL new Higer Azure that has just arrived, hot on the wheels of its smaller sister, The Steed, full electric model
THE AZURE EV BUS LIKE THE STEED IS BY FAR BEST IN CLASS. It is ideal for covering urban, public and commuter transport needs. It has a range of over 450km making it a real contender to traditional diesel powered vehicles, with major benefits of all the savings in fuel and emissions, lining the operator’s pockets and easier on passenger lungs and general health.
THE AZURE EV BUS is powered by lithium-ion batteries manufactured by the award winning battery power maker CATL, with a capacity of 350 Kwh. This power is designed to promptly and comfortably take the Azure and its passengers on their next adventure
Each vehicle is also delivered with its own infrastructure of fast charging CCS2. AZURE can be charged in less than 2 hours and is technologically advanced, making it not only a spectacular EV but also a phenomenal powerhouse. With integrated camera systems, a full flat floor, trip and range logic, space for 42 Seated passengers & wheelchair accessibility, this vehicle not only competes with traditional vehicles it excels in every area. Remember the name and enjoy the new freedom of the AZURE by Higer Bus and Harris Bus & Coach. See for yourself how far we have advanced!
