QBuzz places major electric bus order with Iveco

Iveco Bus has received an order for 140 electric buses from Dutch public transport operator Qbuzz. This involves two different models, which are to be deployed in the province of South Holland from the end of 2024.

102 units of the Iveco Crossway Low Entry Elec and 38 Iveco E-Way vehicles with lengths of 10.7 and 12 metres respectively are due to enter service for Qbuzz in the Zuid-Holland Noord (ZHN) concession area from December 2024. Zuid-Holland is the province around Rotterdam and The Hague, while the northern part around Leiden, Alphen and Gouda borders the province of Noord-Holland with Amsterdam.

Details of the routes are not yet known. However, Qbuzz is already quite familiar with Iveco Bus as Qbuzz operates a fleet of electric articulated Iveco buses in the Groningen-Drenthe region and in Utrecht.

The experience with Iveco was an important, but not the only reason for ordering from the Italians again. “In addition to our good experiences with IVECO BUS, the company came out with the best combination between price and quality and that was the deciding factor for us,” said Gerrit Spijksma, CEO of Qbuzz.
