Financial Benefits of EV
Increased fuel efficiency by 60%.
Studies conducted by US Department of Energy shows that EV
commercial vehicles are highly suitable for city stop-start traffic conditions, their test showed an average reduction of 60% in fuel cost.
Real life test conducted by Avass during drives from Melbourne to Sydney (887km) in Sept 2015, returned an average electricity cost of $64
compared to $400-500 of diesel.
Reduced green house contributing emissions
Comparison between diesel and EV light commercial vehicles (7-12,000kg) shows a 40% reduction in greenhouse emissions.
Reduced maintenance cost
EV drivetrains have less components and have less wear and tear, as such
maintenance cost and frequencies are reduced

Public Relations Advantages Brand differentiator
There are no other “commercial” EV bus in Australia
Reduced Greenhouse emissions by up to 40%
2013 study conducted in the US comparing diesel to EV delivery trucks driving in city conditions, shows EV has 40% less harmful emissions.
Australia Made
Avass buses are design and engineered in Australia and manufactured locally in Peru*
Recyclable
After 15 years of bus operations, EV technology and power source can be re-deployed to power less demanding applications such as house hold / consumer electrical appliances.
World Guinness Book of Records holder
Avass EV technology, our power source and bus holds the world record for longest distance travelled on a single charge.
* Subject manufacturing capability

3. Commence Trial period
Trial can be with an Converted or a New bus
4. Prepare business case and seek investment approval
5. Place Order and take delivery of EV bus
