The delivery of these buses is planned for end 2023.

The Ebusco 3.0 13.5-meter is a new addition to the line-up of the innovative, lightweight Ebusco 3.0 and reaches the maximum length on one rear axle.

The bus is equipped with an optimal combination of 49 seats for regional transport and additional standing places for urban transport.

EBS will operate over 500 electric buses by the end of 2023. The order of the Ebusco 3.0 buses contributes to the further growth of the electric fleet, making it possible for EBS to provide public transport in the most sustainable way.
