The XBUS Pickup Bus is a modular electric microbus from startup ElectricBrands from Germany. The company was founded in 2020 and is inspired by the "Lego principle".

The XBUS Pickup Bus is the base model + pickup bus module of the XBUS that is available as road and offroad version. Other available modules include:

• A fully enclosed bus.
• A pickup with a tilting dump truck bed.
• A flatbed version with fold-down sides.
• A cabrio for urban commuting.
• A business transporter.
• A large cargo cabin for delivery purposes.
• A two person camper with a refrigerator, sink, cooktop, and TV inside.

The modules can be easily switched so that it is possible to use the same vehicle for both personal and business use.

ElectricBrands is working on new innovative modules including a hovercraft module that enables the bus to sail through water.

The XBUS is available with two chassis variants: road and offroad.

Mikrobussen har fire elektriske motorer i hjulene (4wd), som yder en effekt på 15.000 watt (56.000 watt spidseffekt), med en begrænset topfart på 100 km/t. Motorerne leverer et exceptionelt drejningsmoment på 1.200 Nm.

The microbus has easy to swap lithium batteries that provide a driving range of 800 km. A Level 2 fastcharger enables to charge the batteriess to 80% in less than a hour. The charge time using a regular wall outlet is 3 hours.

Mikrobussen er som standard udstyret med solpaneler på taget, der kan yde en opladningskapacitet på op til 600 watt. Til de fleste bymæssige anvendelsestilfælde sørger solpanelerne for tilstrækkelig strøm til at gøre ekstern opladning unødvendig. På nogle moduler kan solpanelerne også tilføjes på siderne for en udvidet solcelledrevet rækkevidde.

The microbus weighs just 500 kg and supports a total cargo weight of 1.600 kg. The road version has a size of 394,5 x 169 x 193 cm and the offroad version is a bit higher and wider.

The XBUS pickup bus has both a rear cab and an open loading area that makes it easy to load and unload heavy and bulky objects. Because the batteries are placed in the middle, the microbus has an optimal weight distribution and correspondingly good handling characteristics, even when heavily loaded.

The microbus has an infotainment system with a 10.2-inch screen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

The microbus is equipped with keyless entry, Bluetooth, GPS, an audio system with speakers, air conditioning, a 230 V regular wall socket, a rear backup video camera, a front and rear parking aid system and wood laminate flooring.

The microbus has a rollover-compatible cabin with an integrated crash box. The bus also has active and passive safety systems such as an electronic stability control (ESC) system.

The microbus has many accessoires including a trailer coupling, a bike rack and many options for personalization such as 17" aluminum rims and exclusive interior designs.

The microbus is available in any color and can be customized by the factory with options such as a custom business print.

The XBUS is provided with 2 years warranty that covers both the vehicle and the batteries. The warranty can be extended to up to 10 years.

The microbus and modules of choice can be ordered online and are shipped worldwide.
