The only electric buses I have ever seen were of some flatnose design and had most of the powertronics set at the position a rear engine would be, enabling a low floor through most of the interior lenght in order to improve accessibility to wheelchair users for instance. So it becomes harder to rely on a battery box as a structural member.
