Equipped with a 256kWh high-capacity Lithium polymer battery manufactured by LG Chem, it can travel up to 290km on a single charge.[1][2] The battery is mounted on the ceiling and the motor is mounted on the rear wheel, creating a larger interior space than similar buses. It is equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as an automatic temperature control system that maintains battery performance in extreme cold or heat, and an ultrasonic sensor that prevents the front and rear doors from closing when a person approaches them.[2]
