By working with composite materials, production facilities of Ebusco have a unique approach to producing Ebusco buses. With a cleverly designed factory, Ebusco is able to quickly scale up and be flexible in adopting new models and innovations.
Ebusco has currently two types of electric buses in production, Ebusco 2.2 and Ebusco 3.0.
Both models can be produced in various configurations from 10.5- until 18-meter low entry and low floor.
The Ebusco 3.0 is being produced in four steps. First, beams are produced with one main component; carbon fiber. In order to make the carbon fiber beams, Ebusco had to develop in-house braiding machines and carefully designed molds. Second, composite parts of glass fiber are bonded with the carbon beams. Together they form the side panels. These side panels are going through our foam machine that injects foam between the glass fiber parts. The foam makes the parts airtight, which leads to high insulation values and noise reduction. Third, the bus will go through different assembly stages where among others, axles, electric wiring, and interior and exterior are assembled. Finally, before every bus leaves the factory, a thorough inspection takes place, including quality checks, test drives, and installation of client-specific IT and systems.
The Ebusco 2.2 is being assembled in our factory in Xiamen, China with almost exclusively European parts. To conform to our European quality standards, a team of experts and excellent knowledge are located in Xiamen. After the bus is completely assembled, the Ebusco 2.2 is shipped, depending on the location of the end user, to the plant in Deurne where IT and customer-specific instruments are built in. After final checks and tests, the bus is cleared to be delivered to our customers. Depending on the location of our customers, the buses will be either transported or driven to the final destination to even further reduce our footprint. The same applies to the delivery of the Ebusco 3.0.
Ever since our establishment in 2012, quality has been our priority. Ebusco is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Our electric buses are also continuously tested.
At Ebusco we see a better TCO for an electric bus when the concession period is at least 10 years and the buses drive at least 80.000 km per year. Please feel free to play a bit with this calculator.
