Irizar e-mobility will supply 78 electric #buses to Cologne’s KVB under a contract signed through distributor Jebsen & Jessen Industrial Solutions. The order covers the new Irizar ie bus Efficient, which offers improved efficiency, capacity, accessibility, comfort, safety and sustainability. Deliveries begin in late 2026 and finish in 2027. The fleet will include forty 12-metre and thirty-eight 18-metre units, helping KVB move towards running two thirds of its services electrically. The buses allow Combo 2 or pantograph charging and use Irizar’s latest batteries and a compact motor. Interiors provide more space and light, better climate control and an upgraded digital driver’s area. The 12-metre model has two doors, 32 seats and one wheelchair or pram space; the 18-metre version has three doors, 46 seats and two such spaces. #Cologne will be the first #German city to operate the Efficient model.
