The fourth (and last) issue of Sustainable Bus Magazine for 2025 aims to provide an updated picture of the policy, technology and market developments shaping the global bus sector. A full report from Busworld Europe 2025 and two vehicle-focused features (spotlight on Solaris Urbino 10.5 Electric, test drive analysis with the e-Territo by Otokar) complete the issue.
Vinfast, MCV – Volvo, NMC vs LFP batteries…
The issue features an interview with Patrick Oosterveld of VinFast, who outlines the company’s pathway into the European bus market, focusing on industrial strategy, partnerships and product positioning. Two analytical articles explore structural trends in the manufacturing landscape. The first examines the evolving configuration of European bus production, marked by plant reorganisations and new entrants. The second provides an inside look at the MCV plant producing the Volvo 7900 and 8900 electric buses. A technical feature compares NMC and LFP batteries, analysing behaviour, durability and considerations for fleet operators: the signature is that of Claudius Jehle, author of the Battery Cycle series, and big news are coming!
A detailed report from Busworld Europe 2025 reviews new vehicles, components and business models presented in Brussels, with additional coverage in the Busworld Spotlight dedicated to innovations and sector trends.
Focus on Otokar e-Territo and Solaris Urbino 10.5 Electric
This issue also features a test drive of the Otokar e-Territo, highlighting the vehicle’s unique combination of retro-inspired design and modern electric performance. The review examines how the bus handles in real-world conditions, focusing on driving dynamics, passenger comfort, and the operational behaviour of a fully electric powertrain which is a best in class in terms of performance: we’re speaking about the former Voith, now Driventic-made, VEDS.
In the Spotlight section, the Solaris Urbino 10.5 Electric is presented in detail, marking the completion of the manufacturer’s electric bus lineup across all major lengths. Launched at Busworld, it has been awarded with the Sustainable Bus Award 2026. The article covers technical specifications, battery options, charging capabilities, and accessibility features, providing a comprehensive overview of how Solaris continues to expand its zero-emission offerings to meet diverse urban transport needs.
