UQM Technologies says its PowerPhase electric motor and controller systems are being used for an all-electric mini bus built by Inter Tan-ker in Hungary.

The company says it is the first all-electric mini bus to be approved for use by the Hungarian National Transport Authority.

“It’s rewarding and exciting to be part of new vehicle segments in emerging markets and we’re proud to work with Inter Tan-ker on their vehicle test programme,” said UQM Technologies president and CEO, Eric Ridenour.

“Our diverse line of electric motors and controllers, as well as our experience in markets around the world, make our systems attractive to global vehicle manufactures.”
