Omnibusspiegel E-Bus Test 2023, with SWB Bonn

The initiative is supported by the public transport company of Bonn (SWB), which is making depot space available.

It is aimed at the German market but, due to the quantity and quality of the participants, is undoubtedly of international significance.

The E-Bus test by Omnibusspiegel is a journalistic event that aims to bring together the state of the art of an electric bus category, for a whole week. Their technical specs and behaviour are tested along a tight schedule of static examinations in the depot and service simulations on a specially laid out city circuit.
