Belgian bus trader Multiobus purchases 20 electric buses from Ebusco. For Multiobus, it is the fourth purchase contract with Ebusco, which will give them 36 Ebuscos by 2025, including 34 vehicles of the 2.2 variant.
Manager Olivier Van Mullem clarifies the choice of the Ebusco 2.2 instead of the Ebusco 3.0. "We have had positive experiences with the 10 Ebusco 2.2s which largely met our expectations and have driven more kilometres than estimated. With the 20 additional Ebuscos 2.2, we are opting for standardisation of the vehicle fleet, making things easier for maintenance and infrastructure. On the Ebusco buses already in service with us, we will dismantle the pantograph as intermediate loading will no longer be necessary. Overnight charging is sufficient to drive all day, including in rural regions. By the end of 2025, we hope to have greened 50% of our vehicle fleet to meet the operating conditions of Flemish transport company De Lijn".
