Isuzu Novociti Volt

The Novociti Volt is a battery-electric public transport bus from Anadolu Isuzu, sold under the Isuzu name: the maker’s model page is headed “Isuzu Novociti Volt”, and its English text calls the bus “Anadolu Isuzu’s first 8-meter length EV public transportation bus”. The figures on this page come from Anadolu Isuzu’s own documents, from isuzu.com.tr and anadoluisuzu.com.tr: the Novociti Volt model page on isuzu.com.tr in its Turkish and English versions (undated, read on 9 November 2026), and two Anadolu Isuzu news releases in Turkish dated 15 April 2026 and 9 July 2026. How battery-electric city buses work in general is set out in electric buses explained.

Generations, shows and naming

Anadolu Isuzu’s release of 15 April 2026 reports that the company exhibited the “Novociti Volt 2. Nesil” (second generation) at the BUS2BUS show in Berlin on 15 and 16 April 2026. The release calls it the improved version (“geliştirilmiş versiyonu”) of the Novociti Volt platform, which it describes as having reached a wide user base in Europe, and calls the second generation fully electric (“tam elektrikli”). According to the release, the new generation was optimised for narrow city streets and medium-density routes (“dar şehir sokakları ve orta yoğunluklu hatlar için optimize edildi”), and Anadolu Isuzu presents it with increased passenger comfort, improved energy efficiency and strong charging infrastructure (“güçlü şarj altyapısı”). The release gives no figures and no dates for the earlier generation.

The release of 9 July 2026 lists the NovoCiti Volt among the vehicles Anadolu Isuzu showed at Busworld Türkiye 2026 in Istanbul from 17 to 19 June 2026, beside the New NovoLux, the Grand Toro XL (see Isuzu Grand Toro) and the Citiport 12 (see Isuzu Citiport). It says that the NovoCiti Volt draws strong interest from local authorities in Europe in particular, and that it offers comfort in urban public transport with new-generation features developed on its existing platform (“Mevcut platformu üzerine geliştirilen yeni nesil özellikleriyle”). No document opened gives a start of series production for either generation.

The model page writes “Novociti Volt” in its heading, “NOVOCITI VOLT” above its data rows and “NovoCiti VOLT” in its text; the April 2026 release writes “Novociti Volt” and the July 2026 release “NovoCiti Volt”.

Model page data

Electric drive

The model page gives the maximum power as “270 kW” under a heading that reads “Maksimum Güç (kW/rpm)” in Turkish and “Max. Power (kW/rpm)” in English, with no motor speed. The English text names the motor: “NovoCiti VOLT has TM4 electric motor which produces 270 kW”. The Turkish text names no motor maker. The release of 15 April 2026 gives the second generation a motor that produces 270 kW and 2500 Nm (“270 kW güç ve 2500 Nm tork üreten motoru”). No document opened gives a continuous power, a transmission, a top speed or a gradeability figure.

Battery and range

The model page lists the batteries as “211 kWh,268 kWh” and the range as “400 km’ye kadar menzil” (range up to 400 km), in English “up to 400 km”. The release of 15 April 2026 gives the second generation battery options of 211 kWh and 268 kWh (“211 kWh ve 268 kWh kapasiteli batarya seçenekleriyle”) and a range of up to 400 km on a single charge (“tek şarjla 400 km’ye kadar menzil”). No document says whether the battery figures are installed or usable capacity; the difference is explained in installed vs usable battery capacity. No document names a battery chemistry, ties the range to one of the two batteries or names a test cycle for it; the bases on which makers state range are set out in how electric range is declared. No document opened gives a charging power, a charging standard or a charging time.

Length and passenger capacity

The model page’s data row gives the length as “7,9m / 8m” and does not say which version of the bus each length belongs to; the text of both page versions speaks of an 8-metre bus (“8 metre uzunluğundaki”, “8-meter length”). The passenger capacity is given as up to 55, with no split into seated and standing places. No document opened gives a width, a height, a wheelbase, a turning circle, a weight, a wheel formula or a door layout. The length limits for buses in the EU are set out in bus and coach dimensions.

Maker’s description

The English model page carries the line “Your energy, your city”; the Turkish version opens with “NovoCiti VOLT, modern şehirlere modern bir yüz ile sıfır emisyon getirecek” (NovoCiti VOLT will bring zero emission to modern cities with a modern face). Anadolu Isuzu says the bus offers “efficiency, high-manoeuvrability and a barrier-free transportation solution for operators and municipalities”, describes it as “Designed and produced by Anadolu Isuzu” and says it “will bring zero emission and lowered noise to the cities”. The accessibility rules for buses are set out in bus accessibility under UN Regulation 107.

Source notes

The figures above are from Anadolu Isuzu’s Novociti Volt model page on isuzu.com.tr in Turkish and English (undated, read 9 November 2026) and from Anadolu Isuzu’s news release of 15 April 2026 on the second-generation Novociti Volt. The model page gives a length of 7.9 m / 8 m, up to 55 passengers, batteries of 211 kWh and 268 kWh, a range of up to 400 km and a maximum power of 270 kW, with no motor speed; its English version names a TM4 electric motor producing 270 kW, and its Turkish version names no motor maker. The release of 15 April 2026 gives the second generation, shown at BUS2BUS in Berlin on 15 and 16 April 2026, the same battery options and range and a motor producing 270 kW and 2,500 Nm. No document opened splits the battery figures into installed and usable capacity, names a test cycle for the range, or gives a width, height, wheelbase, weight, charging power or seat count. Anadolu Isuzu’s release of 9 July 2026 reports the NovoCiti Volt among the vehicles shown at Busworld Türkiye 2026 in Istanbul from 17 to 19 June 2026.
