Ebus Test 2025, with some out-of-competition surprises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year’s test features a selection of 12-meter battery-electric buses (last year the focus was on 18-meter models<\/a>) undergoing assessments on an urban circuit, with a focus on energy consumption, range, and charging performance. Participants? Iveco Crossway LE City Elec<\/strong> (presented in 2023<\/a>), Scania-Higer Fencer F1 Integral EV<\/strong> (presented at IAA 2024, towards commercialization in Germany and Austria<\/a>), Solaris Urbino 12 Electric<\/strong> in its latest update with modular drive approach<\/a>, VDL Citea LF-122<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
