New contracts for hydrogen and battery
electric buses drive IVECO BUS to success in France
Turin, Italy, 30th September 2024. IVECO BUS,
the urban, intercity and tourist bus brand of Iveco Group (EXM:
IVG), received three new contracts for electric mobility solutions
in France, reinforcing the brand’s leadership in the transition to
cleaner, greener public transport. In total, 31 hydrogen fuel cell
buses and 20 battery electric buses have been ordered since the
beginning of September.
Cannes Lérins Urban Community has renewed its
trust in IVECO BUS and ordered twelve GX 337 H2 LINIUM BRT hydrogen
fuel cell buses. Deliveries will start in the second half of 2025
to complement the thirty-five IVECO BUS GX ELEC battery electric
buses already in the fleet.
Lorient Agglomération has also chosen IVECO
BUS's hydrogen technology for its network, with nineteen GX 337 H2
LINIUM buses, five of which will enter service in the second half
of 2025.
The third contract is with Grand Reims Mobilités
which has selected IVECO BUS to deliver twenty (with an option for
an additional nine) GX 437 ELEC LINIUM BRT battery electric buses.
These vehicles will begin operating on the streets of Reims in
autumn 2025.
The hydrogen fuel cell bus chosen by Cannes and
Lorient is one of the outcomes of the partnership between Iveco
Group and Hyundai Motor Company that started in 2022. The model is
equipped with an advanced fuel cell system developed by HTWO, the
hydrogen business brand of Hyundai Motor Group, and a battery pack
by FPT Industrial, the Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design
and production of low-environmental impact powertrains. The battery
electric bus for Reims is part of the successful range that has
already been chosen by more than one hundred customers in Europe
with more than three thousand units ordered.
