Imanol Rego, CEO of the Irizar Group, highlighted the importance of continuing along the path of decarbonisation, with a commitment to innovation and integrating the latest technological advances. “We continue our path of decarbonisation with a technological neutrality. We do believe that it’s possible to decarbonise with a range of multi-technology vehicles. Our mission is to bring the best solution to our customers, citizens and people. In recent years we’ve expanded our Efficient range with the goal of accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility and a better life. With this new range we’re achieving annual savings of up to 150,000 tons of CO2″.
Irizar is underlining their international vocation and strong presence around the world. The European market accounts for approximately 60% of the sales of the Irizar Group. Likewise, markets such as Mexico, South America and Australia are strategic and important markets for Trizar.
Irizar launches new Irizar i3 Normal Floor BEV
The highlight of the event arrived with the public presentation of the new Irizar ie bus and the new Irizar i3 Normal Floor, both of which are 100% electric vehicles. “These new vehicles are not just more efficient, they will also contribute to greater CO2 savings, strengthening our commitment to emissions-free mobility”, noted Imanol Rego.

Irizar is presenting at Busworld the new Normal Floor version class Il electric integral Irizar i3. After the launch of the Low Entry electric Irizar i3 in October 2024, with this Normal Floor version Irizar is completing the 100% electric intercity range.
The new electric Irizar i3 Normal Floor has a completely vanguard design that maximises passenger and luggage compartment capacity. With a more aggressive front and sharper angles, it is in line with the rest of the range of Irizar vehicles. It’s a Normal Floor vehicle completely designed for the sustainable future of the intercity environment, silent and zero-emissions.

Created to facilitate all intercity operations and passenger comfort, the electric Irizar i3 Normal Floor has more than 7 m luggage compartment, Irizar states, although the capacity of the luggage compartment depends on the length and configuration of the vehicle.
Furthermore, new, lighter and stronger materials have been integrated into the new design, which has made it possible to reduce its weight by 1,000 kg. Its range stands out, which is up to 450 km with a single daily charge, which facilitates operations of all clients, Irizar adds.
The electric Irizar i3 Normal Floor shares components with the rest of the Irizar models, and almost all the exterior elements are compatible with the electric Irizar i3 Low Entry.
Consequently, stock of spares can be minimised, which makes the electric Irizar i3 Normal Floor a more efficient and sustainable vehicle for operations, maintenance, and repair.
The new Irizar ie bus Efficient
Irizar e-mobility has presented their new class I Irizar ie bus at Busworld. The vehicle is completely electric and includes significant advances in efficiency, capacity, accessibility, comfort, safety, and sustainability.
Thanks to a new structural concept, a weight reduction around 1000 kg has been achieved, which increases passenger capacity by 5% in relation to the previous generation.
Regarding accessibility, the new model has wider doors, aisles and passenger flows, which guarantees easier, more comfortable, and more inclusive access for everybody.
With driver comfort in mind, the independent climate control of the driver’s area has been improved, ensuring optimum comfort at all times. In addition, reducing the height and weight of the vehicle contributes to better driving dynamics.

In order to improve travelling experience, the new Irizar ie bus has more space and better luminosity, creating a more comfortable and pleasant atmosphere for passengers, Irizar underlines.
By using a more compact motor, a new generation of more efficient batteries, and a new thermal manager, among other things, it has been possible to reduce energy consumption by 10% in comparison with the previous generation.
Significant progress in the use of recycled materials – twice as much as the previous platform – has been made on this new platform. That milestone reflects Irizar’s commitment to sustainability and the future of transport.

The exterior design of the new Irizar ie bus stands out because of its strong personality, which is inspired by the rest of the brand’s models. Its strong angles, alongside a well-defined frontal aesthetic, reinforce its distinctive character. The side elements are visually integrated using a design that connects the windows, panels, and doors into a single harmonious whole.
Of course, this new bus meets the most demanding standards on the market, guaranteeing maximum safety at all times.
Irizar buses and GSR2 regulation
The vehicle meets the highest safety standards in the framework of the new GSR2 regulations with the integration of advanced components, like cameras and radar to guarantee the safety of the driver and passengers. The new Irizar i3 meets the R155 and R156 European regulations regarding cybersecurity management system and software updates for vehicles. Thus, it is guaranteed that the systems function as expected and security risks that arise can be mitigated. One important development is that the Irizar i3 Normal Floor complies with the R29 regulations, which improves driver and passenger protection in the event of a head-on collision.
That regulation has already been implemented in the rest of the Irizar range of vehicles.
In addition, the electronic architecture of the vehicles makes it possible to analyse data for diagnostics and implementing preventive maintenance measures. The electrical and fuse unit has been implemented in the driver’s area, which facilitates access to it and improves safety for maintenance people during roadside interventions.
The bodywork of the new electric Irizar i3 is available in an integral self-supporting configuration and with different electric chassis.
The Irizar i65 Efficient: the most efficient coach in Irizar’s history
The Irizar i65 Efficient has become the most efficient coach in the history of Irizar, with a reduction in consumption and emissions of up to 13%, a weight reduction of up to 950 kg, and an improvement in the aerodynamic coefficient of 30%.
In addition, the new generation of the integral drive system provides an addition reduction in consumption of up to 5%, weight optimisation, and it also complies with all the new GSR2 and cybersecurity regulations. It’s an improved range that has a new cockpit with a new steering wheel, updated keys, and a new version of the dashboard with an updated design and an option to choose night mode for driving. Furthermore, the electronic mirror system provides better visibility under any climatic conditions.

In addition to the hydrogen version, the Irizar i65 Efficient is currently available with diesel, biodiesel, natural gas, hybrid, and biofuel technology.
The fatigue trials and durability tests done at Idiada, one of the most prestigious applied research institutions in the world, guaranteed their efficiency, reliability, and quality.
More than 2000 Irizar i6S Efficient units are on the road around the world in the most demanding operating conditions, with notable results in reliability and consumption. Thanks to the efficiency of this vehicle, an annual savings of 76,800 tn of COz has been accumulated.
The Irizar i65 Efficient has an especially significant presence in countries like Spain, France and Italy. The important value added by the consumption reduction and innovative design of the new Irizar i65 Efficient are key in Irizar’s geographical expansion in regions like Scandinavia, Germany and the Baltic countries.
Eyes on the Irizar i8 coach flagship
The Irizar i8, the brand’s flagship, remains a leader in comfort, luxury, design, and innovation.
The new generation of this model in Europe already includes some of the updates of the Efficient range, for example the electronic mirrors that help reduce fuel consumption and improve driving safety.
The new generation of the integral drive system provides, according to Irizar, an additional reduction in consumption of up to 5%, weight optimisation and, in addition, it complies with all the new GSR2 and cybersecurity regulations.

The Irizar i8 is the preferred solution for clients for luxury services, long-distance ranges, and special use. The major European sports teams also choose the Irizar i8 for transport.
The flat floor in the passenger area makes 2+1 mode configurations possible. That makes it especially attractive for travelling long distances in great comfort. The Efficient version, available on the Mexican market, is the same, which has made it the first choice for clients.
Sustainability at the core of Irizar’s stand
The stand also has a space exclusively dedicated to sustainability, where the Irizar Group’s commitment to a better world is on display, as well as the complete range of Irizar products, including Irizar’s circular economy brand made up of products created using surplus production materials.
They’re products, including backpacks, wallets, laptop cases and a lot more, made by hand in collaboration with various brands and associations within this project, which focuses on inclusive and responsible production.
Busworld has thus become the perfect stage to discover first hand the innovative solutions the Irizar Group is promoting in their path to decarbonising the sector.
