An element has surfaced in Launceston: 📸 Look at this post on Facebook https:/ ... tid=K35XfP

Hopefully a public group means it’s viewable by all

It doesn't open for me, but that was news a little while ago. Metro Tasmania is trialling a couple in Launceston.

Thanks. What a sight for sore eyes after looking at Bustechs and ARCC all day. I was about to rip my eyes out.

First Element with a single rear door. Hopefully we see more Elements but I do feel like they aren't favored by many companies.

More will arrive in Launceston next week.

I figure the reason for that (which I've observed in other Midi battery buses in Europe) is that chopping a couple of metres off the back of the bus has meant that there's no room for equipment in the back of the bus and it has to go under the floor. It's a compromise of being a 10 metre bus. Are 12 metre buses allowed in UK? At least it's only one step, not the mountaineering jobs we're getting in other electric buses in Australia.

Yes, the Mercedes-Benz Citaro is a 12 metre bus.
