Is that the norm? I guess the floor could be raised with a higher roof to compensate. I’ve noticed that new energy buses are taller (NG and electric) to make room for fuel/battery, but I’m not exactly sure where that is going.



Car batteries in the floors of cars don't seem to have made them any taller.


Buses have different constraints, so I'm assuming they have more battery for more range between recharges.


Depends on the use-case. For fixed-line buses in urban areas, their range requirements could be quite low, especially if high-speed charging is available at the terminal.
