IVECO BUS records two new orders for its H2 model listed in the UGAP’s catalog.

 

The Urban Community of Dunkirk will receive 10 units, while Grand Annecy Agglomeration will be delivered 3 units. These new vehicles, with deliveries staggered until 2026, will strengthen the existing fleets of electric buses from the brand on both networks, taking a new step by adopting hydrogen technology.

 

Giorgio Zino, Head of IVECO BUS Europe Commercial Operations, stated: "We are extremely proud that the Urban Community of Dunkirk and Grand Annecy Agglomeration have renewed their trust by adopting our hydrogen buses. These new orders, via UGAP, highlight our ability to support our customers in their transition to zero emissions."

 

Combining a 100 kW Hyundai fuel cell with a 69 kWh FPT Industrial battery pack, the IVECO BUS H2 solution is particularly efficient in terms of reducing hydrogen consumption (15 to 20% lower than usual levels), optimizing thermal comfort, while ensuring a long lifespan of key components (battery and fuel cell) and excellent passenger capacity of up to 110 passengers.

With extended autonomy and optimal performance, this 12-meter hydrogen bus model fully meets the requirements of urban networks and transport authorities.
