Powering Agrale's Electric Buses in Buenos Aires

Scaling bus electrification starts with designing around the route – and that principle sits at the centre of our work with Agrale.

For bus operators considering electric powertrain capability and requirements, range, passenger load, charging windows, HVAC demand, axle loadings and daily duty cycles all shape whether a vehicle can perform reliably in service.

That is why the Agrale programme has been developed around our modular, scalable Zero Emission Drivetrain, engineered to support real-world bus operation in Buenos Aires and the wider South American market.

The MT17.0e brings together Equipmake’s in-house motor, inverter, control systems, batteries and thermal management in one integrated platform – configured for depot charging, passenger-carrying operation and dependable daily use.

The same principles sit behind effective repowering; starting with the vehicle, understanding the duty cycle, simulating the route, then configuring the electric drivetrain around the operation.

Because electrification only scales when buses can keep doing the job they were built for.
