MAPNA Unveils Domestic Electric Bus in Mashhad

The domestic engineering and energy giant, MAPNA Group, has unveiled its first locally-produced electric bus in the shrine city of Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi Province.
Dubbed ‘Shetab’, the e-bus was introduced during a ceremony held late last week. The vehicle is designed and manufactured by Parsan Electric Bus Production Company, a joint venture between MAPNA and Oghab Afshan Industrial and Manufacturing Company, ISNA reported.
According to the manufacturing company, the monocoque design of the body and chassis structure distinguish Shetab electric bus from other models.
The low-deck bus has no steps and is developed on a product lifecycle management platform, which allows several companies to work on all technical processes at the same time, such as detailed and master design, engineering, production and project management.
