Düsseldorf operator Rheinbahn AG has signed a second contract with Irizar e-mobility by acquiring 8 new units of the 12 meter long Irizar ie bus.

In early 2021 Rheinbahn started taking delivery of the ten e-buses ordered in spring 2019. Four battery-electric buses from Irizar e-mobility (through German partner Ferrostaal) had at that time reached their destination and began operating in the German city. The others are expected to start service at the beginning of 2021. The electric bus units of that contract were funded by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
