Ebusco delivered 39 buses in Q3 2025. Workforce has been reduced 42% and CEO recruitment is ongoing

Ebusco states it has maintained a stable operational pace in the third quarter of 2025, confirming progress on its path toward recovery. According to the Ebusco Q3 2025 operational update, the Dutch manufacturer delivered 39 electric buses between July and September, a result consistent with the previous quarter. This brings total deliveries for the year to 86 units, with the company expecting at least the same number of buses to be delivered in the fourth quarter.

The company continues to undergo changes in key management positions, with the search for a permanent CEO ongoing, following the resignation of Christian Schreyer in June 2025. Ebusco states that at the upcoming meeting, the Board intends to nominate Roel Nagelmaeker, currently Finance Director and interim CFO, for confirmation as permanent Chief Financial Officer.

Ebusco Q3 2025, workforce reduced 42%

Ebusco is transitioning towards Original Engineering and Design (OED) model. Under this structure, manufacturing is outsourced (in China) while design, engineering, and quality remain fully under Ebusco’s control.

As of 30 September 2025, Ebusco reported a fixed order book of 164 buses. The company expects additional orders to emerge from its current activities in France and Germany, where operational performance and aftersales support remain central to strengthening relationships with public transport operators. Ebusco noted that market demand for zero-emission buses remains high, with European operators continuing to accelerate fleet electrification plans.

The Ebusco Q3 2025 report also highlights the ongoing cost reduction programme. The company has reduced its workforce from 522 full-time equivalents at the end of 2024 to 305 by the end of September 2025, a decrease of around 42 percent. A central component of this plan is the consolidation of the two Dutch facilities in Deurne and Venray into a single site in Deurne. This process, to be completed by the end of the year, supports Ebusco’s goal of achieving a structural annual cost reduction of approximately 30 million euros by the close of fiscal year 2025.

Michel van Maanen (COO and Member of the Board) and Peter Bijvelds (Member of the Board) jointly comment: “We are very pleased that the improvement in our delivery performance has continued in the last months. Buses have been steadily delivered to our clients, which is essential for rebuilding customer confidence and securing future success. Our full focus is on continuing this trend and become a reliable partner again for suppliers and customers. To maintain this positive momentum, we continue to strengthen our internal processes and refine our new  OED model, in combination with targeted reductions in our operating expenses. At the same time, we are rebuilding key departments and prioritizing the recruitment and fulfilment of critical roles to ensure long-term operational strength. With a long-term vision in mind, we are confident that we can sustain this upward trajectory and continue strengthening our position for the future.”
