The company has announced a lineup of no fewer than eight buses and coaches from Mercedes-Benz and Setra, including two models making their debuts.

The company this week presents its BP95E battery as it makes its European bus debut at Busworld Europe (7 – 12 October in Brussels), stand number 775 – Hall 7.

Owned by the Iveco Group, the company is focusing on battery packs and battery management systems for minibuses and buses.

The company is showcasing three new CO2 heat pump modules all aimed at improving overall efficiency as well as new products engineered for double-decker electric buses.

The European Council proposes lowering the emission limits for commercial vehicles slightly adjusting their test conditions.

The company has remained tight-lipped regarding any product specifications, but technicians and sales representatives will be on hand (stand 653B in Hall 6) to share information at the event.

At stand 629 in hall 6, the company is set to debut its new roof-mounted AC138 EVO air conditioning system which is set to go into series production in Q1 2025.

The Ghent factory is assembling battery electric versions of the heavy-duty FH, FM, and FMX ranges on the same production line as the diesel and natural gas ones.

Europe and arguably the world's largest bus and coach fair will take place at Brussels Expo in Belgium in six weeks' time running from the 7th to the 12th of October 2023.

The new rounded steel body of the S.KI, which has a loading volume of 24 cubic metres and is lighter by up to 180 kg than before, is reportedly more rigid and easier to handle, thanks to redesigned cross-section and upper lips and a lower centre of gravity.

At stand 629 in hall 6, the company stated it would be “presenting primarily climate-friendly products for alternative drive types” whilst also focusing on its digital and cloud-based service offerings.

Whilst details remain sparse at this point on the power source (fuel cell or hydrogen ICE?), the new i6 coach is set to have a minimum range of 500km on a single refill. Irizar says that the hydrogen coach forms part of its “future business strategy and technology roadmap, which includes the Irizar Efficient range of multi-technology vehicles.”
