PEI announced that it has worked with Spanish bus manufacturer Castrosua to develop an articulated version of the ‘Nelec’ electric bus range which is mounted on a chassis supplied by China’s BYD.

The ‘RD1’ is an upgrade on Masats’ previous ramp designs which combines an electric ramp with a manual ramp, meaning that the latter can be employed in the case of a power failure.

This order has helped CaetanoBus scale up production of the H2 City Gold model with orders for more than 115 units throughout Europe, including Germany, France, Portugal, Denmark and now Spain.

This inclusion allows French public entities to procure these buses directly through CATP without initiating their own tender processes, making it easier to procure.

The partnership focuses on retail financing solutions for commercial and industrial vehicles, conducted through their joint venture, Transolver Finance Establecimiento Financiero de Crédito S.A. (Transolver Finance), in which Iveco Group holds a 49% stake.

Volvo says the order books are “open” for the UNVI-bodied coach, which is based on the ‘B13R’ chassis produced by Volvo at its factory in Boras, Sweden.

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.

Produced in Spain, the BYD-Castrosua 12-metre eBuses have been built on the BYD electric chassis with Castrasua 'Nelec' electric bus bodywork.

The Dutch OEM has introduced significant enhancements to its new generation truck series, focusing on three key areas: efficiency, safety, and comfort.

Karsan has acquired 100% of Spanish dealership, E-buskar, expanding its presence in the Spanish market. By integrating E-buskar into its operations, Karsan plans to enhance its collaboration with dealers in public transportation sales, after-sales services, spare parts, and used vehicles.

The truck charging location is being built near two major trans-European networks: the Mediterranean corridor, which connects southern Spain to Hungary; and the Atlantic corridor, connecting Portugal with northern France.
