14 Ebusco 3.0 18-metre buses for new Swedish customer VR Sverige

Ebusco signs contract with VR Sverige to partner up and ensure a rapid transi�on to emission-free transport

Deurne, 31 January 2024 – Ebusco (Euronext: EBUS), a pioneer and frontrunner in the development of electric buses, charging systems, and energy storage has signed a contract with VR Sverige. This order consists of 14 Ebusco 3.0 18-metre buses which will be deployed in Helsingborg beginning 2025.

The 14 Ebusco 3.0 18-metre buses will be equipped with a batery pack of over 500kWh, ensuring a sufficient range for the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) lines where these buses will operate. BRT is a transit system renowned for its frequent, swi� and dependable travel �mes while providing a comfortable and high-quality transporta�on experience. Through these routes, VR Sverige, together with Ebusco facilitates convenient, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable transporta�on in Helsingborg.

A bus that suits the city

The groundbreaking Ebusco 3.0, will be right at home in the city of Helsingborg which is known for its innova�on-driven spirit. So much so that Helsingborg won second prize in the European Capital of Innova�on Awards 2020. This annual award, also known as "iCapital", is given to the European city that can best demonstrate that it uses innova�on to improve the lives of its residents - something Helsingborg con�nues to excel at, reaffirmed by this new order.

Making public transport appealing

VR Sverige not only focuses on zero emission buses, but also on the overall impact of an electric opera�on. Consequently, VR Sverige exclusively relies on green, renewable energy to minimise the environmental impact. The Ebusco 3.0 seamlessly aligns with this philosophy. Due to its lightweight design, the Ebusco 3.0 has recently showcased its revolu�onary low energy consump�on, resul�ng in a substan�al reduc�on of the overall resources required to run an opera�on.

Anders Frykman, Director of the Bus Division at VR Sweden, comments: "We are proud and happy to announce that Ebusco will be the new supplier of electric buses to Helsingborg. They are, just like VR Sweden, innovation-driven and we are convinced that the Ebusco 3.0 is a bus model that will increase both the comfort on board and the perceived quality. In addition, it will be even easier for the people of Helsingborg to travel sustainably."

Peter Bijvelds, co-CEO of Ebusco, comments: "We are extremely proud and honoured to welcome VR Sverige as a new customer. In recent trials, the Ebusco 3.0 has demonstrated its position as the market's most efficient electric bus. As we introduce these 18-meter buses, we anticipate a further amplification of their positive impact on sustainability. We are delighted to partner with VR Sverige in taking a significant stride toward enhancing comfort and sustainability in public transportation, with the shared goal of improving the environment for both commuters and residents."
