This capital will help the company scale manufacturing at its 250,000 square foot production facility in Ohio. This strategic investment aims to meet the growing demand for zero-emission specialty vehicles, particularly in the American electric school bus sector.

In the 2000s, there were three major manufacturers of buses and bus bodies in the United Kingdom: Alexander Dennis of Scotland; Wrightbus of Northern Ireland; and Optare, a relatively young company based in the north of England. For a time, Optare probably accounted for a quarter of the buses and coaches produced in the UK. Optare entered the 2020s under a new name, Switch Mobility Ltd, signalling its intention to embrace the electric era wholeheartedly. However, among the British manufacturers, it remains firmly in third place: according to statistics provided by Switch, it sold 33 buses in 2022, 44 in 2023, and 125 in 2024. In that same period, Switch’s plant in England has produced more than two hundred vehicles, the vast majority of which were sold to various UK operators, including Stagecoach, Arriva, and many more. 

This recent acquisition of 11 units adds to the twenty-one Irizar electric buses that Voyages Emile Weber purchased previously in 2019, reinforcing their commitment to sustainable public transportation.
