Hop Into an Electric Minibus with e-SCW!

This month we had the pleasure of delivering our latest fully electric minibus conversion to community transport association Waverley Hoppa in Surrey.

Our Conversion

Waverley Hoppa’s fully electric minibus is based on a M2 brake-approved Maxus eDeliver 9 and can transport up to eleven seated passengers. Their new minibus features an upgraded interior with grey wood-effect flooring and seats upholstered in a premium wipe clean grey material, complete with custom ‘S-style’ silver stitching and piping.
