56 of these vehicles are on order for operation in Paris. Manufacturers Van Hool, Alstom and Kiepe Electric have worked together to develop a unique electric bus for Ile-De-France Mobilités.
The Tzen4 is a battery-operated, 24 meter long double articulated bus, able to carry approximately 140 passengers.
The vehicles will operate on the T Zen 4 and T Zen 5 high service bus lines (running on dedicated bus lanes) in the south of Paris, as well as a possibility of a third line They make use of 'very fast vehicle recharging' using Alstom’s conductive ground-based static charging system (SRS) interfaced with an on-board energy system from Kiepe Electric.
Alstom is providing the conductive ground-based static charging system (SRS) already in use on 15 kilometres of tramway tracks in Nice, where it allows automatic and fast in-station recharging.
