The purpose of the Scol'Elec project was to realize a prototype electric-powered vehicle, equipped with an original mechanized Renault Trucks chassis and fully electrified by a dedicated drive train developed by PVI. It has been tested in real situations on two different bus lines of "Seine-et-Marne" French department.

This vehicle has a 100% electric powertrain and carries about 100 kWh Lithium-Ion batteries. The objective of this first vehicle was to demonstrate that an electric school bus can achieve high technical performance and bear competitive operating costs, despite an initial economic investment, compared to an equivalent conventionally-fuelled vehicle.
