Lithuania / China – Dinobus* of Vilnius, Lithuania, is the brand name of the latest entrant in the electric bus market in Europe, having started selling electric buses for airport operation just two years ago in 2023. Dinobus, a division or subsidiary of Busnex Poland Sp. Z. o. o. ** of Warsaw, Poland, (an importer and distributor of Yutong electric buses and coaches since 2011 for Poland and Lithuania), is responsible for the design, development, homologation to European regulations and standards, delivery and aftersales care, for battery electric airport buses in Europe.

In answer to a question of why Apron e-buses by Truck & Bus Builder to Paulina Gustov, Marketing Strategist and Market Analyst at Dinobus, Gustov explained that the focus on buses for airports had been a natural progression of the parent company of Busnex, Avia Solutions Group (ASG)***, which is one of the largest global suppliers of aviation services in the world, also based in Vilnius. In the lead up to and post-Covid, ASG personnel saw the rising trend of large organisations and notably airport operators of focusing on measuring their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) impact on society and saw that there was and is, a gap in the market for bespoke zero emission buses in and around airports.
