Fifty-one buses, 31 hydrogen fuel cell and 20 electric, all E-Way models. Iveco Bus consolidates its position as market leader in France by winning three supply contracts for zero-emission buses.

The Cannes Lérins Urban Community has renewed its partnership with Oem by ordering twelve Gx 337 H2 Linium Brt hydrogen fuel cell buses. Deliveries will begin in the second half of 2025 to complement the thirty-five Iveco Bus Gx Elec battery electric buses already in the fleet.

Lorient Agglomération has also chosen Iveco Bus hydrogen technology (developed in partnership with Hyundai) for its network, with nineteen Gx 337 H2 Linium buses, five of which will enter service in the second half of 2025.

The third contract is with Grand Reims Mobilités, which has selected Iveco Bus to deliver twenty Gx 437 Elec Linium Brt battery electric buses (with an option for an additional nine). These vehicles will begin running on the streets of Reims in the fall of 2025.

Iveco Bus and Hyundai’s hydrogen breaks through in France

The hydrogen fuel cell bus chosen by Cannes and Lorient is one of the results of the partnership between Iveco Group and Hyundai Motor Company launched in 2022.

The model features a fuel cell system developed by Htwo, Hyundai Motor Group’s commercial hydrogen brand, and a battery pack from Fpt Industrial, Iveco Group’s brand dedicated to the design and production of environmentally friendly engines. The battery electric bus for Reims is part of the successful range already chosen by more than a hundred customers in Europe, with more than three thousand units ordered.

Domenico Nucera, President, Bus Business Unit, Iveco Group, commented: «We are proud of the trust placed in us by these cutting-edge urban communities. These projects highlight IVECO BUS’ expertise in sustainable mobility, covering all ranges and technologies for low- or zero-emission vehicles. In addition, we thus confirm our leadership in the French market, where we remain committed to providing high-performance mobility solutions that meet the diverse needs of customers. We look forward to continuing our journey toward more sustainable public transport and a greener future with our partners in France and across Europe».
