What you could fine inside? Well, a market insight will offer you a detailed look at the European e-bus market, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the mid-2023 results. The leading e-bus market in Europe is still UK: therefore, we focused our attention on that specific market with a report that sums up strategies, focus, goals of the most prominent industry players. A technology spotlight on the delicate topic of batteries, authored by Claudius Jehle, look at battery management and strategies to ensure the smooth and cost-effective operation of electric buses (with a focus on a case study from BVG).

Providing our readers insights into the changing dynamics among key OEMs in the region. We’ll be then taking you behind the scenes at the Yutong factory in Zhengzhou, that we had the pleasure of visiting in June. Let’s then delve into Iveco Bus’s growing efforts in the zero-emission bus field. Finally, last but not least, a nearly-20-pages comparison between seven 12-meter battery-electric buses, gathered together in Bonn also this year by the German magazine Omnibusspiegel. You’ll find both established players and newcomers side by side: Ebusco 3.0, Hess lighTram 12m, Ikarus 120e, Iveco E-Way, Mercedes eCitaro with new batteries, Otokar e-Kent C, Quantron Cizaris 12 Ev.

E<strong>BUS</strong> TEST <strong>2023</strong>. 7 PLAYERS HEAD TO HEAD<br />

E-<strong>BUS</strong> WAVE<br />

7 electric 12-meter buses: a couple<br />

of best sellers and lots of new<br />

vehicles. The Ebus Test <strong>2023</strong> called<br />

together Ebusco (the 3.0, finally),<br />

Hess, Ikarus, Iveco Bus, Mercedes<br />

(with a new generation of batteries),<br />

Otokar, Quantron<br />

A<br />

nice gathering of electric models.<br />

It was not particularly<br />

exhaustive if we consider representativeness<br />

in terms of<br />

market shares (eCitaro and E-Way together<br />

cover just under 20 percent of the<br />

European electric bus market in 2022 -<br />

of the others are zero or residual) but<br />

full of new vehicles. An excellent oppor-<br />
