Irizar e-mobility has signed a new contract with Orléans Métropole to supply seven 12-meter, 100% electric, zero-emission Irizar ie tram. With this new order, the French metropolis once again relies on Irizar e-mobility to renew its bus fleet. The first units are scheduled to be delivered by the end of next year.

The buses, equipped with the latest technology from the Irizar Group, will have 3 doors, 22 seats, 2 spaces for wheelchairs/passengers, and an access ramp. They will incorporate the latest generation of batteries, with more on-board power than previous buses, and will be recharged at night with slow charging in depots.

This city is strongly committed to the electrification of public transport and we are proud to be able to support it once again in this technological transformation process by providing it with all our technology and innovation».
