ERGA EV is the first BEV flat-floor route bus developed by Isuzu to realize zero carbon emissions. The BEV’s layout flexibility allows for the elimination of steps at the rear of the bus, creating a fully flat-floor interior, allowing passengers to easily get on and off the bus as a conventional non-step diesel-engine bus. All seats are accessible without steps, making movement within the bus completely barrier-free. In addition, smoother acceleration and deceleration, as well as lower vibration and noise levels, maximize passenger safety and comfort. With these improvements, Isuzu aims to eliminate on board accidents, such as falls, entirely.

The free movement of people and goods, anytime, anywhere. Safe, comfortable, human-centric, and convenient. The Isuzu Group looks to the future in creating an array of products and services that drive prosperity for people and society as a whole.
