MVG orders 14 Ebusco 2.2 electric articulated buses for Munich

Follow-up order from Munich – After MVG (Munich Transport Company), a subsidiary of Stadtwerke, took over two out of four ordered Ebusco 3.0 buses as the world's first customer of the new lightweight E-bus generation made from composite material in mid-December, the people of Munich are now doubling down. 14 Ebusco 2.2 18-meter articulated buses are on the order list, the delivery of which is planned for the first half of the coming year.

“Stadtwerke München has been at the forefront of the energy transition from the beginning. We are proud to contribute to our shared goal of introducing emission-free transport as quickly as possible as a partner of Stadtwerke München,” says Ebusco CEO Peter Bijvelds.

14 Ebusco electric buses are currently part of the MVG electric bus fleet, which currently consists of a total of 25 vehicles – twelve electric solo buses of model 2.2 and two out of four ordered Ebusco 3.0 buses, which are mostly made of composite material and are therefore very lightweight and have a long range.

“After the 12-meter buses from Ebusco met the range expectations, we are happy to bring the big brother to Munich. By gradually switching to e-buses, we want to achieve the climate goals in transport and make public transport in Munich even more sustainable,” says Veit Bodenschatz, Managing Director and Head of Bus Operations at the Munich Transport Company (MVG).

The people of Munich want to convert their entire fleet to electric buses by 2035.
