The 12-meter long Citywide bus is equipped with the roof fast charging – OppCharge. This system needs to be active during operation, as Scania prefers to employ a smaller battery pack, so as to not decrease the passenger capacity of the bus.

Three such buses have been in regular operation in the northern Swedish city of Östersund since March 2018, where they are run on a 15 km route with some 40 stops.
