Iveco Bus, a division of Iveco Group N.V., has reached a three-year agreement to provide Busitalia, a bus company owned by FS Italiane Group, with up to 150 E-WAY full electric city buses.
These buses will primarily be used for local public transportation services. This is the largest order for E-WAY city buses in Italy to date.
Iveco Bus will deliver the E-WAY full electric city buses to Busitalia between 2023 and 2025, with the first batch of 18 units set to arrive in Padua and Rovigo in July 2023. The E-WAY bus has already proven to be a reliable vehicle with 800 units in operation, having logged 42 million kilometers.
The 12-meter night charging version of the E-WAY bus, specifically designed for Busitalia, will be equipped with air conditioning, USB charging ports, accessible areas for wheelchair users, and a rear-view camera system.
“This agreement confirms our position as a leader in full electric mobility solutions and proves that we are the ideal partner for transport operators in providing emission-free mobility services. We are proud to support Busitalia in making public transport in Italy even more sustainable”, said Domenico Nucera, President Bus Business Unit, Iveco Group.
