With deliveries beginning in the second half of 2023, this order follows the announcement in January of a 500 articulated E-WAY electric city bus order from Flemish government-owned public transport operator De Lijn.

Iveco has offered several iterations of the eDaily over the past decade.

Testing of the Iveco Bus / Plus Inc heavy-duty truck (Iveco S-Way) installed with Plus’s level 4 autonomous driving technology (‘PlusDrive’), is set to expand from Germany into Austria, Italy and Switzerland in March 2023 in order to collect more complex road data and ultimately go into series production.

IDV hope to build on Horiba Mira’s expertise in remote control, teleoperated and autonomous vehicle technology.

Developed in Turin, the 69 kWh NMC (Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt-Oxide) modular battery packs have been specially designed for LCVs, minibuses and buses.

The company announced the order for 500 articulated E-WAY electric city buses to Flemish government-owned public transport operator De Lijn, over the next six years, with the first 65 to be dispatched by Q1 2024.

The company announced the order of 150 E-Way 12-m long fully electric city buses from Italian bus operator Busitalia, with the first batch of 18 being delivered in July 2023 and staggered throughout until 2025.

Deliveries of the buses - a mixture of diesel and CNG vehicles worth nearly EUR34.2m altogether - are slated to begin in the second half of this year and will run into the first half of 2024. 

After signing an agreement to supply Italian public procurement company, Consip SpA, with 80 e-Atak buses in 2021, it is to provide another 27, by the end of 2023.
