The big day has arrived. Today, Tuesday 18 April, Iveco Bus is inaugurating the new Foggia plant, in south Italy. Here, in fact, the new lines for the final assembly of high-tech, zero-emission (BEV and FCEV) and low-emission (methane/biomethane and latest-generation diesel/biodiesel) buses will be realized.

It will also be completed in Foggia with the addition of components largely supplied by the national automotive supply chain, Iveco Bus stresses. The manufacture and R&D activities on batteries, as well as the engine supply of low-emission vehicles, will be entrusted – as mentioned – to FPT Industrial, the Group brand dedicated to powertrain technologies.
