INDCAR, a leading company in the development and manufacture of minibus bodies, presented three vehicles from its range at stand number 402A in hall 4: the 8-metre-long electric version of the e-Mobi City, the 8.5-metre-long Wing for discreet services and, for the first time, the Spica model, with a body on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. The Shaula model, also from the Mercedes-Benz range, will also be on display outside the hall.
Acquisition of Car-bus.net
2025 is shaping up to be a historic year for INDCAR. The company closed the last financial year with a turnover of €58 million, a figure that is expected to rise to €78 million this year, an increase of 34%, demonstrating solid and steady growth. Production capacity will also reach a record high, with a 23% increase from 450 to 555 units.
An important milestone in 2025 was undoubtedly the strategic operation that is part of the international growth and expansion plan announced in September last year: the acquisition of Car-bus.net, a Spanish coachbuilder specialising in Mercedes-Benz chassis.
As a result of this integration, INDCAR has diversified its portfolio and now offers solutions suited to multiple chassis configurations, thus consolidating a range that covers both the urban and the tourist segments.
129 units of the new e-Mobi City electric model sold
The e-Mobi City has been presented at Busworld as the new electric version of INDCAR’s renowned Mobi City on an Iveco eDaily chassis.
This zero-emission model has already won its first tender, one that has been officially announced at Busworld: 129 units for the client Astral, which are set to operate in the Lazio region.
The e-Mobi City, a fully European urban vehicle, incorporates a 140-kW electric engine and on-board energy totalling 111 kWh, spread across three batteries. Its dual charging system allows for 22 kW type-2 or CCS Combo2 connectors up to a maximum of 80 kW, with a full charge achieved in just one hour and 30 minutes.
“The development of this new model constitutes a major challenge for INDCAR. We’re proud to present a 100% European product that’s designed to meet the demands of all-electric urban mobility, in close cooperation with IVECO. We would like to extend our special thanks to Romana Diesel, our partner in the region, for her support and dedication to the project.
It’s also an honour for us to take part in one of the most important tenders in Europe to acquire electric vehicles, which are scheduled to be on the road in the Lazio region from September 2026 onwards”, declared INDCAR CEO Gaël Queralt.
With a track record dating back over 135 years, INDCAR has consolidated its standing at the forefront of its sector in Europe. The company currently employs a team of 330 professionals and produces over 630 units per year, which are exported to more than ten European countries.
