Ebusco B.V. was established and started developing the first prototype in Helmond. This was partly thanks to an innovation loan from the Ministry of Economic Affairs. With its 12 metre, long range bus, Ebusco was the first European manufacturer to receive European type approval for electric buses. The first Ebusco charging systems were also delivered in 2012.

In 2013, we introduced our first bus, the Ebusco 1.0, at the IAA in Hannover. The Ebusco 1.0 received good impressions at the exhibition, but we also experienced a lot of reluctance on Zero Emission buses.

The first Ebusco bus was sold and directly put into service in Helsinki, Finland. That same year we won the ECW Ecology Award at Busworld 2013

With all the data and input we collected from Ebusco 1.0, we improved our bus and introduce the Ebusco 2.0. This bus already had a range of 300km at the time and has a capacity of 90 passengers.

The Zero Emissions Agreement was signed. The provincial authorities and metropolitan regions hereby agreed with the government to strive together towards fully emission-free regional bus transport by 2030. From 2025 all newly acquired public transport buses must be zero-emission. ING acquired a non-controlling interest in Ebusco. ING sees enormous market potential for Ebusco’s buses. An Innovation partnership agreement was signed with MVG, the Munich public transport company. We collaborate with MVG on further innovations in the fields of lightweight electric buses and self-driving vehicles.

The King and Queen of the Netherlands paid a visit to Paris and got transported within the city with our Ebusco bus.

A two-year process led to a revolutionary and unique approach to the development of electric buses. The result: the launch of our prototype Ebusco 3.0 lightweight bus with a fully composite body.

At the end of 2020 Ebusco delivered 156 electric city and regional buses to Transdev, the parent company of Connexxion. This order represents a total value of approximately €130 million. The buses contribute to cleaner and quieter bus transport in the Amsterdam Meerlanden and Haarlem Ijmond regions. This order led to the biggest number of emission-free buses so far delivered within any one year in Europe. Since 2020 more than 300 Ebusco buses have been operating in seven countries across Europe, including major cities such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Munich.

Ebusco gets listed at the Euronext - Amsterdam after Peter Bijvelds himself strikes the gong in the company of his friends, family and investors.

The First Ebusco 3.0 was delivered to our client in München and made its first kilometres on the road.
