Irizar e-mobility has won another contract for electric buses in a new French métropole.
RATP Dev, the operator of the Bibus network for Brest Métropole, will start operating ten new Irizar e-buses in mid-July 2025.
The operator has chosen the 12-metre long Irizar ie model.
The bus is characterised by its effectiveness, silence, and accessibility. It will be equipped with the latest generation of 470 kWh Irizar batteries.
The ie model has three doors, an electric ramp, 24 seats and two spaces for wheelchairs.
“After the recent order from the Communauté d’agglomération du Pays Basque, we’re delighted to announce this new contract with RATP Dev for Brest Métropole. France is an important country for us. More than 200 Irizar electric buses are on the road in several French cities,” says Iñigo Etxeberria, General Director of Irizar e-mobility.
“At Irizar e-mobility we’re committed to giving our full support to Brest Métropole. We’re looking forward to being by their side during their transformation to greener zero-emissions cities”, he adds.
The company is a Spanish commercial vehicle manufacturer based in Ormaiztegi, Basque Country, whose history dates back to 1889. Ten years ago, the company decided to focus on battery-electric buses.
