After the Flemish minister of Mobility Annick De Ridder announced last week that public transport operator De Lijn could order another 290 electric buses. As part of this announcement IVECO BUS confirmed the acquisition of 100 new articulated e-buses from IVECO BUS. This order is part of the existing framework agreement signed in 2023 and adds to the 141 E-WAY 18-meter buses currently being delivered. The delivery of these new vehicles is scheduled to begin in the last quarter of 2026.

The articulated E-WAY buses to be delivered by IVECO BUS are equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) safety features, such as blind spot detection, intelligent speed adaptation, front collision warning system, driver drowsiness detection, and tire pressure sensors. Additionally, they are equipped with a rear view camera system, video surveillance, and information screens, ensuring secure journeys for drivers and passengers, with 41 seats available on board. “De Lijn aims at attractive and fully emission-free public transport in the whole of Flanders by 2035,” says Director-General Ann Schoubs. “Articulated buses represent a significant part of our entire fleet. This order is therefore very important to us. As with all our future e-buses, they will be fitted with USB charging points, an electric ramp for less mobile passengers, improved ventilation and heating, and extra-wide screens with real-time stop information.”
