Custom Denning’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of bus design continues to set new standards for the industry. Looking forward, the company envisions even faster charging rates, as they work towards advancing the speed and efficiency of their technology.
Designed with the needs of bus operators in mind, Custom Denning’s pantograph system offers a flexible and versatile solution. Operators are now equipped to fast-charge their buses, to meet tight service schedules, and maintain KPIs, all without compromising warranty conditions. This balance of speed, reliability, and assurance is a testament to Custom Denning’s dedication to quality and innovation.
These newly upgraded Element 2 buses are scheduled to begin their rollout in the upcoming weeks, with additional updates to be provided as they reach their new destinations.
