From groundbreaking electric and hydrogen-powered buses to next-gen battery platforms, AI-enabled mobility, and innovative drivetrain technology, UITP 2025 underscored how commercial vehicle OEMs in the public transport space are accelerating toward a zero-emission, data-rich future.

These buses will be offered in both battery‑electric (e.City Gold) and hydrogen fuel‑cell (H2.City Gold) variants. Series production is expected in 2026 at its Vila Nova de Gaia plant in Portugal.

This order has helped CaetanoBus scale up production of the H2 City Gold model with orders for more than 115 units throughout Europe, including Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark and now Spain.

CaetanoBus supplied 12 H2.City Gold electric hydrogen-powered buses for the Paris Olympic Games.

Order volumes have not been disclosed but we do know that the battery pack cells will utilise an LFP chemistry, specifically tailored for the long-distance travel demands of electric city buses.  

The new Temsa battery packs boast higher energy capacity and greater durability, while the hydrogen coach is a joint project with CaetanoBus using Toyota fuel cells.

Production is to take place at Temsa’s factory in Adana, with a prototype expected by next year and series production towards the end of 2025. Both engineering teams will be working closely together in order to meet these deadlines.

The company is set to supply 60 hydrogen-powered H2.City Gold buses to the Strasbourg public transport operator CTS (Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois) which will operate in the city of Strasbourg in France, making it the biggest hydrogen bus order in French history.

This order will help CaetanoBus scale up production of the H2 City Gold model with more than 115 units sold throughout Europe, including in Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark and now Spain.

CaetanoBus is set to supply German public transport operator Deutsche Bahn (DB), with 60 hydrogen-powered H2.City Gold buses, to be delivered in Q1 2024, following 71 European orders last year.
