Ebusco announces a regional partnership with Australian Bus Corporation aimed at the commercialization of the Ebusco 3.0<\/a> on the Australian market. The partnership will have the Ebusco 3.0 in the spotlight<\/strong>: the bus was launched at Busworld 2019. Its serial production, it was released, is scheduled to begin in mid-2020 in Deurne (NL).<\/p>\n Ebusco announces: \u00abThe partnership will ultimately result in the manufacturing, delivery and maintaining of the Ebusco 2.2 electric bus and the next-generation, carbon-based Ebusco 3.0 into Australia and New Zealand\u00bb.<\/p>\n The Dutch company is not new to the country: the Ebusco 2.2, currently available on market, is built by Australian bus builder BCI<\/strong><\/a>. To date, anyhow, no vehicles with Ebusco’s logo have been commercialized outside Europe. The next generation electric bus<\/a> by Ebusco, according to the statements of the companies, will be then also produced in Australia and sold in the country, plus New Zealand.<\/p>\n The Australian Bus Corporation is the largest Australian owned bus designer and manufacturer in Australasia. It is made up of Bustech<\/strong> and Precision Buses.\u00a0<\/strong>As reported on www.busnews.com.au, the newly appointed strategic director of Asia Pacific for Ebusco Simon Pearce said: “The Australian Bus Corporation and Ebusco initially met at the 2019 BIC conference in Canberra, Australia. After an initial discussion between Dan Marks (director\/owner of Precision Buses and Bustech), Peter Bijvelds (CEO Ebusco)and Michel Maanen (CCO and COO Ebusco) each party felt that they could offer the other a unique skillset in addressing the needs of the Australasian market”.<\/p>\n The new technologies adopted by Ebusco for the 3.0 electric bus model come from\u00a0aviation and aerospace industry, the company says.<\/p>\n The bus largely consists of composite parts<\/strong>. Composite is a combined material made of at least two constituent materials with different physical or chemical properties. This makes the bus 33% lighter than Ebusco 2.2.<\/p>\n The electric bus Ebusco 3.0 features camera mirror system. The batteries placed in the floor allow a lower centre of gravity. The bus, considering the claimed electric bus range<\/a> of 500 km with one charge<\/strong>, is developed only for overnight charging<\/strong> (no pantograph charging will be offered as an option).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ebusco announces a regional partnership with Australian Bus Corporation aimed at the commercialization of the Ebusco 3.0 on the Australian market.
