I bet that battery pack probably houses approximately 2000 - 26660 cells!!!!!!

The Electric batteries on the roof are an enormous fire hazard.
I don't really mean to have a go at Volvo in particular but EVs or hybrids in general will face the same potential risk.
When an electric battery goes on fire, the rate at which it burns and spreads is incredibly fast.
There's video footage of a bus in Paris, where the battery on the roof has caught fire and as the public stand back and watch it devour the vehicle by the time it's almost burnt the entire bus - there's still no visible signs of the emergency services.
Sirens can be heard in the distance getting closer but not nearly fast enough.😳
I am not convinced that EVs or Hybrids are necessarily the answer.
Hydrogen fuel cell or Hydrogen combustion engines possibly.

18 meter bus can not take 150 passengers, this is not a normal capacity. It is an overcrowded capacity. Normal would be 130.

It depends on local regulations, particularly relating to axle load. In some European countries 150 or so is normal. In other jurisdictions like Australia, 110-120 is typical.
