Iveco Bus<\/strong> has signed a production agreement with bus manufacturer\u00a0Otokar<\/strong>, under which Iveco branded buses will be produced in the Turkish factories in Sakarya. This contractual partnership covers existing models in the Iveco Bus portfolio for international distribution<\/strong>, as well as the production of a model specifically catered for markets in Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.<\/p>\n

The models to be produced in Turkey will be powered by engines from sister brand FPT Industrial. First vehicles are going to roll out from Sakarya production lines within 2021.<\/p>\n

In late January 2020 Iveco France announced the merge of Iveco Bus and Heuliez Bus sales teams.<\/a><\/p>\n\"iveco\n

\u201cWe are very excited to embark on this new partnership, which paves the way for many opportunities in our businesses,\u201d said Sylvain Blaise<\/strong>, Head of the Global Bus Division at CNH Industrial. \u201cThanks to this cooperation we will be able to increase our manufacturing capabilities in order torespond to current and future market demand to support our continued growth, as well as giving us the opportunity to work jointly on future portfolio expansion.
