The AC135-230 is a roof-mounted HVAC system developed for electrified public transport, featuring a separate electric compressor. The systems will support the thermal management requirements of the battery trolleybuses, which can operate under existing overhead wires and travel up to 25 km away from the catenary using their onboard batteries. This allows the vehicles to serve routes or sections without overhead infrastructure while avoiding the need for diversions or service interruptions.
