Ebusco, manufacturer of electric buses and charging systems is supplying the Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-GmbH (SWEG) up to 25 Ebusco 2.2 buses in 12-metre versions.  Last year the German public transport company already ordered 10, of which the first are now in operation.

The company plans to deploy the buses in the Baden-Württemberg region. The buses are expected to drive around 60,000 km per year, saving roughly 55,000 kilograms of CO2 and over 90,000 grams of nitrogen per bus on an annual basis.

The Ebusco 2.2 bus is known for its very low energy consumption and high battery capacity. It comes standard with LFP batteries and, depending on the capacity chosen, has a range of up to 450 km. Dr Thilo Grabo, Managing Director at SWEG: “After our first experiences with the Ebusco 2.2, we are particularly impressed by the long range of the vehicle. We are very pleased to further expand the use of electric mobility in our bus operations with this contract and thus make our fleet even more environmentally friendly.”
