Over the past decade Ebusco has pioneered the future of electric bus technology by focusing on using lightweight materials and battery technology ensuring up to 450 km on a single charge in a broad range of climates and weather conditions.

Peter Bijvelds, Global CEO of Ebusco is proud to be in Australia to launch the Ebusco 2.2 and said, “When I started this company over a decade ago, I knew that we needed to find a better and a cleaner way to move people. We now have more than 400 buses around the world that have travelled more than 60 million , saving more than 55,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Simon Pearce, Australian Director of Ebusco said, “For the past three years a small team has been working hard in the background to get to this moment today. The arrival of the Ebusco 2.2 bus with right hand drive in Australia is a huge milestone for our company. We look forward to growing our offering in Victoria.”
