Ebusco announced it has signed a framework agreement with Frankfurt Airport operator Fraport to deliver four twelve-metre-long Ebusco 3.0 buses, marking the first time an Ebusco vehicle will be used at an airport.

In the first half of 2023, Ebusco delivered fewer buses than expected and the penalties for delays impacted the financial performance of the company. This was due to supply chain disruptions and labour shortages.

Ebusco’s Management Board now consists of Peter Bijvelds (CEO), Jurjen Jongma (CFO) and Bob Fleuren (COO). 

Ebusco announced it is to supply German public transport operator Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs GmbH (SWEG) with another 25 Ebusco 2.2 12-metre buses after the same company ordered 10 last year which are now in operation.

Björn Krook was previously Ebusco’s Investor Relations & Sustainability Manager and has over 20 years of experience in the banking industry.

This sensational revenue growth was, in large part, due to the order book growing from 325 to 1,474 buses including orders totalling 388 for its most advanced model yet, the Ebusco 3.0.

The contract, with the Swedish public operator, Svealandstrafiken, comprises 23 Ebusco 3.0 13.5-metre Class II e-buses with an option to purchase an additional 41.

UGAP provides public buyers with its procurement expertise and offers a wide range of products and services.

The company ended 2022 with a record order book of 1,474 buses compared with 325 in 2021.

The Ebusco 3.0 18-metre articulated city bus is designed for urban and regional transport operations and has a capacity for 150 passengers. It is powered with a choice of cobalt-free LFP 350+ and 500+ kWh battery packs, offering a range of up to  700 km.

This is the first order for the Ebusco 3.0 13.5-metre, which is a new addition to the line-up of the lightweight Ebusco 3.0 and reaches the maximum length with a single rear axle.

e-bus builder, Ebusco is 10 years old and on its anniversary (September 2022) it is claiming a full order book for its electric bus range with contracts recently announced for cities in Norway, Sweden and Australia.
