Overview
Built for the duty cycle, not the brochure
The LST-V38 is built for operators who need to move people economically through dense cities. A 46.592 kWh lithium iron phosphate pack and a 40/80 kW permanent-magnet synchronous motor deliver a WLTC range of 220 km with seating for up to 13 on a 4,890 mm platform. Air cabin doors on both sides, a 180° double-opening tailgate and a low, flat passenger floor keep boarding quick at every stop.
Purpose-built for high-frequency boarding
Twin air cabin doors and a 180° double-opening tailgate let a full load board and alight in seconds — the difference between profit and loss on a tight urban timetable.
LFP chemistry, long service life
Lithium iron phosphate cells tolerate deep daily cycling and hot climates, with battery heating standard for cold-start reliability.
Right size for narrow streets
At 4,890 mm with a 3,050 mm wheelbase, the V38 threads lanes and kerbside stops that full-size minibuses cannot reach, while still seating twelve.
Fleet telemetry built in
A 250 GB monitoring system records front, rear, reverse and cabin views, giving operators a documented record of every trip.
