An extreme day with the HEERO eMiniBus. A massive day scenario from early morning to late evening. A real HEERO in action!

The topic briefly and concisely

In every mission, a HEERO plays to his special advantages - always in the service of the cause.

Yes, it follows a hypothetical HEERO workday. But with 300+ km range and 165 kWh DC charging (mid-floor), this has been effortlessly brought to the road in reality.

Mobility rethought · quiet, efficient, sustainable.

Mobility is changing. Cities, companies, and institutions are looking for quiet, clean, and cost-effective alternatives to diesel buses. With the HEERO eMiniBus, a new day of locally emission-free movement begins. Let us accompany it on its journey through a city full of possibilities.
