RB9 UK Battery Electric 9m Bus

A Smart and Sustainable 9m Electric Bus Built for British Roads

Transform your city’s transport network with the Rightech RB9 UK Battery Electric 9m Bus. Engineered specifically for the UK market, the RB9 UK delivers zero-emission performance, exceptional range, and unmatched passenger comfort. Compact yet powerful, it’s the ideal solution for operators seeking a reliable, efficient, and future-ready electric midibus.

Why the Rightech RB9 UK is Best of Breed

Heavy-Duty Battery & Long Range
Equipped with a high-capacity 282 kWh lithium-ion LFP battery, the RB9 UK offers an impressive real-world range of up to 187 miles per charge. Its 150 kW CCS fast-charging capability recharges the battery from 20–80% in just over two hours, minimising downtime and maximising route coverage. Unlike larger 12m buses that consume more energy for similar range, the RB9 UK’s compact design ensures efficient energy use while still delivering long, reliable service hours.
Spacious, Comfortable Design
Despite its 9m footprint, the RB9 UK can accommodate up to 57 passengers (27 seated and 30 standing), with low-floor accessibility, wide doors, and a dedicated wheelchair area. Air suspension ensures a smooth ride, while a powerful HVAC system keeps passengers comfortable year-round. Full LED lighting, USB charging ports, and a modern driver cockpit with integrated infotainment and HVAC controls complete the premium interior experience—features often missing in other midibus-class EVs.
Advanced Safety & Connectivity
The RB9 UK leads with cutting-edge safety technology, including electronic rear-view mirrors, a full 360° camera system, parking sensors, and optional Mobileye collision-avoidance systems. It also features world-class braking and steering components for optimal control. The integrated UPTIME 365 telematics platform offers real-time diagnostics, location tracking, and predictive maintenance alerts, ensuring maximum uptime and operational efficiency.
Sustainable and Cost-Efficient
The fully electric drivetrain delivers zero tailpipe emissions and ultra-quiet operation, making it ideal for clean, low-noise urban environments. Its use of inherently safe, thermally stable LFP battery chemistry enhances both longevity and peace of mind. The RB9 UK offers significant total-cost-of-ownership savings compared to traditional diesel buses, making it a financially sound choice for forward-thinking transit authorities.

The Rightech RB9 UK combines premium battery technology, superior ride comfort, industry-leading safety systems, and a powerful telematics suite in a compact, UK-optimised package. It’s the standout choice for cities and fleet operators committed to clean, smart, and efficient urban mobility.
