The company recently opened a new 10,000-square-meter production facility in Lublin, Poland, as part of its efforts to expand across Europe. The plant is set up to manufacture several hundred hydrogen-powered buses each year.

Truck & Bus Builder attended ‘Bus2Bus’ for the very first time this year since the show’s debut in 2017. It is a biannual event which was postponed in 2021 due to COVID-19; for the 2024 edition (24-25 April), as in previous years, it was held at the Messe Berlin, in the city which is the administrative heart of Europe’s most industrialised nation. However, the country of iron and steel is keen to prove that it has a lively startup scene, and during the press tour we were introduced to multiple tech firms situated in a dedicated “startup area”.

The low-floor hydrogen-powered 12-metre fuel cell bus debuted at the show. Equipped with ZF front steer and AxTrax drive axles and 15 – 45 kWh traction batteries from Impact Clean Power, the bus is currently being tested in Germany.
