STEED - 100% Electric Bus

The Electric Bus Design

The new, 100% electric and metro-ready bus, the STEED (Sustainable Transport Electric Energy Delivered) represents the next generation of sustainable, accessible and affordable zero-emissions public transport. Optimised to Harris Group specifications by manufacturer Higer, China’s leading bus and coach exporter, the STEED has been made to answer growing demand for greener bus solutions from public and private operators as well as the general public.

‘Metro ready’ is a new term Harris Group use to define the extended range Steed can deliver as the first real cross-over electric bus capable of urban and rural travel in the one defined operational route. Using intelligent Higer power saving technology to extend the usable operational range between required charging, STEED is versatile and competent in all environments.
