Forsee is set to supply Turkey’s OEM Bozankaya 12 and 18-metre trolleybus models with its ZEN PLUS and PULSE 15 battery systems.

The contract stipulates a firm order for 75 ‘Xcelsior’ hybrid electric buses (40 feet in length) and 25 ‘Xcelsior Charge NG’ battery electric buses (35 feet in length).

In 2024, Iveco delivered 2,000 school buses, out of a total of 3,250 orders placed. In 2025 it adds the new more powerful BUS 15-210 ORE 3 (Rural School Bus 3) model.

To date, Warrington has put 56 of the Volvo ‘BZL Electric’ buses on the road, and it aims to deploy the remainder by the end of March.

These buses, equipped with the 17-210 chassis and FPT N60 CNG engines, were produced at Iveco's plant in Córdoba, with bodies supplied by Italbus.

The truck conversion is based on a Mercedes Benz Actros chassis (4x2), equipped with a 7.8-litre Deutz six-cylinder in-line diesel (converted to run on hydrogen) engine with an output of 210 kW (281 hp) providing a maximum torque of 1000 Nm. The truck is fitted with an Allison 3000 Series TM fully automatic transmission.

These 85 low- and zero-emission trucks make up almost 10% of the retailer’s total fleet.

The remaining vans are pending delivery due to production delays at General Motors' CAMI Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. According to GM, production was halted from October 2023 until spring 2024 because of battery module supply issues. Operations then resumed in April 2024, with the plant working to fulfil a backlog of orders.
