Czech Republic / Italy – Iveco Bus (a brand of the Iveco Group NV), based in Turin, has inaugurated a new Prototype & Testing Centre at its Vysoké Mýto plant, home to the Crossway and Evadys models. The two-story, 4,100 m² facility doubles previous capacity and supports all propulsion types, including natural gas, battery-electric, and hydrogen. Key features include 12 rooftop-accessible workstations, a thermal chamber up to 50°C, and areas for noise, vibration, and energy testing. Additional zones support component manufacturing, including 3D-printed parts up to 1.5 metres. Staffed by over 50 employees, including 20 engineers, the centre works in tandem with Iveco’s French and Italian R&D hubs. Training hours will increase by 25% to support new energy technologies.
