Irizar e-mobility will provide 10 e-buses in Brest (France)

Irizar e-mobility announces it 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 electric buses in mid-July 2025. Also Heuliez-made e-buses are operating in the same city.

It is worth mentioning that Irizar e-mobility is set to launch a electric intercity bus model at FIAA in Madrid, next week (22-25 October).

The company has recently announced its 1000th e-bus, 8 years after foundation of the company under the umbrella of Irizar group. In 2018, the Irizar e-mobility facilities were opened, which was the first European electromobility plant exclusively dedicated to manufacturing zero-emissions electric buses, charging infrastructures and its own batteries.

The operator has chosen the 12-metre long Irizar ie bus model. The bus will be equipped with the latest generation of 470 kWh Irizar batteries. The bus 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 (large orders were landed in Orléans, editor’s take). 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”, noted Iñigo Etxeberria, General Director of Irizar e-mobility.
