The German manufacturer says the order for 27 battery electric buses from Ledermair is the largest order for electric buses the company has received thus far from a private operator in Austria.

The ‘Urbino 24’ double-articulated buses will serve on bus rapid transit routes in the city.

VDL will supply up to 157 ‘Citea’ buses and Solaris will supply 30 ‘Urbino’ electric buses to Arriva starting on 6 July 2025.

The Xinghan G hydrogen fuel cell truck is Farizon’s latest addition to its growing range of new energy commercial vehicles, which also includes battery, methanol and hydrogen powered trucks.

This order will bring the total number of Lion’s City E buses in Hansea’s fleet to 271, making it the largest zero-emission-tailpipe bus operator in Belgium.

This validation operation is to start in the city of Curitiba, the city of Volvo’s Latin America headquarters and where the chassis is being manufactured.

The total value of the orders, including 10-year service contracts, amounts to EUR200m, making it one of the largest in the company’s history, according to Solaris.

The company received an order for 16 units of its lighTram Tosa double-articulating trolleybus from the Italian city of Vicenza thanks to EUR 19 million in state funding to local transport company SVT, who plan to deploy the fleet on the LAM Rossa line in 2027.

The contract, worth over EUR100m, is for 112 units of the ‘Trollino 18’ line of trolleybuses, which will come equipped with in-motion-charging technology that allows for recharging via catenary lines.

Customers will now have the choice of seven or eight packs, increasing the vehicle’s energy capacity by 33% and extending the range by 46 miles.

MCV will produce the buses under licence at its facility in Egypt, employing chassis supplied from Volvo’s factories in Sweden.

130 units of the ‘Urbino 12 hydrogen’ line will be delivered over the next few years, the vast majority of which (127) will be delivered to the Metropolitan City of Bologna.
