I have to wonder if PREVOST will build on this? I’m still not on board with all electric but I hope this works for them.

Not Easy to say. There is different measures from Europe to the US, but they claim it to the the worlds most versatile platform, so it should be adapted easily to the US market as well

It's a perfect Bus/Coach/Bendybus platform. I'm having a feeling for the UK, it would be bodied by MCV. However, MCV would have to make bodies that would show difference and not be confused with the BZL. I believe when it makes it to the UK, The Volvo BZRLE bus chassis could be as popular as the B7rle & B8rle before it. The Volvo BZR would be a popular coach choice in this country too. Back at home in the UK, the BZL is being increasingly popular. Even more popular than the old diesel B7l & B8l

That's true. This will be produced by MCV later on :)

Are you know something about new Man Lion's Intercity? When coming new models?

You have to ask MAN

I do wonder if the prototype that was sitting on the lot in Arendal during the autumn was built on this platform or as a mule on the B8RLE... I never saw it running so I don't know if it was a EV or not. Rear half looked like a 8900 and the front half was new with a masked front end.
