Ebusco to deliver 156 electrical buses to Transdev Netherlands

As of November 2020, 156 electrical brand new low entry and low floor Ebusco busses will be in operation in the region of Amsterdam, Schiphol airport and the inner city of Haarlem under the brand of Connexxion (part of Transdev Netherlands), which will replace the current fleet of diesel and gas busses.

Ebusco will deliver the biggest fleet ever delivered in one year of new Electrical buses in Europe.The electrical buses will contribute to a cleaner, more quiet and healthy environment in the regions Amsterdam, Schiphol airport and the city of Haarlem.Each Ebusco bus saves around 1 kg CO₂ per driven kilometre. Based on the total volume of this order, the reduction is around 15 mio kg CO₂ per year an over the contract phase 180 mio kg reduction of CO₂.With this new fleet of Electrical Ebusco buses, Transdev is contributing massively to the objectives to reduce emissions.

Ebusco is extremely proud to be able to be a partner of Transdev and to contribute to the improvements of air quality. The electrical busses of Ebusco do not have any emissions like NOx, CO2 or particulate matters. Transdev has selected Ebusco given the long range of Ebusco busses without having to charge. This reduces the total cost of operations due to loading infrastructure and the reduction of the number of times one has to charge a bus, massively.

“This order is a massive success for us, one we grab with both our hands. We have been building our solutions and platform now for over 7 years and have the experience with electrical buses and charges. We know what to do. We are applying the latest technology and innovations in our buses like weight reduction, battery technology, heating or charging infrastructure,” said Peter Bijvelds, CEO Ebusco.

The LFP technology in the Ebusco buses is the best and most safe battery technology in the industry. Because of the combinations of technologies, the Ebusco bus is able to drive 350 km's in ideal circumstances on one charge.
