  • Volvo Buses Receives Order For 60 High-Capacity Electric Buses From Malmö

    Volvo Buses has signed yet another large order for electrified buses. Nobina has placed an order for 60 high-capacity electric buses which will enter service in Malmö next year.

    “It is immensely gratifying to receive yet another significant order for electric buses. In a short space of time we have taken orders for 220 electric buses from two of Sweden’s largest cities.
