Accordingly, VinFast's EB 6 electric bus has dimensions of 6.2m long, 2.2m wide, and 2.9m high, and is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 140kW, reaching a top speed of 90km/h. This is VinFast's first small electric bus model aimed at replacing current diesel buses on short, densely populated routes.

The highlight of the vehicle is its 179.5kWh LFP battery pack, allowing for a range of over 250km on a single full charge. The vehicle supports DC fast charging with a maximum power of 120kW, capable of charging from 20% to 80% in approximately 70 minutes.

The VinFast EB 6 comes in two main versions: an urban electric bus and a school bus, sharing the same chassis and engine but differing in interior layout and accompanying technology.

The urban electric bus version is designed with 11 seats, 1 wheelchair space, 1 driver's seat, and 17 standing spaces, for a total capacity of 30 people.

Meanwhile, the school bus version has 19 seats and a driver's seat, equipped with seat belts for each seat and integrated monitoring technologies to ensure maximum safety for students. Notable features include an attendance system and a student safety alert system, a driver monitoring camera, a 21-inch LED screen, and a dedicated app for parents and students...

Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM) will be the official distributor of these two vehicle lines. According to the plan, the EB 6 urban electric bus will be launched in September 2025. A month later, in October, the student transport version will be available on the market.

Notably, GSM will not only distribute vehicles but also launch the first high-standard student transportation service in Vietnam using electric vehicles.
