Our team

Following years of experience in the automotive industry, Peter Bijvelds established Ebusco in 2010 with a view of realising the possibilities that he saw in electric public transport. Driven by strong inner motivation, by bringing together experts from different fields in Ebusco, he has successfully developed and applied new technologies. Ebusco has meanwhile grown from an enterprising start-up with a high innovative content into a dynamic, internationally oriented company, though still characterised by innovation and entrepreneurship.

Christian has over 25 years’ experience within the Public Transport and logistics sector having worked for companies such as Deutsche Bahn, DB Schenker Rail, Transdev and Go Ahead. Christian holds a Master of Laws degree from Ludwig- Maximilians Universität Munich and pursued a General Management Programme at Harvard Business School in Boston USA.

Michel van Maanen rejoined Ebusco in 2024 and previously played a key role in the early development of Ebusco as COO and CCO, contributing to a profitable production setup. Michel brings extensive expertise in public transport and strong relationships with the company’s customers. Most recently, he served as CEO of the Australian electric transport company Nexport, where he successfully managed a contract manufacturing model that is similar to the model that Ebusco is implementing.
