From Turkish bus manufacturing and hydrogen mobility to factory reporting, infrastructure projects and zero-emission vehicle portfolios, the brand new issue of Sustainable Bus Magazine offers a detailed overview of the bus and coach sector ahead of Busworld Turkey.

The new issue, in fact, will be distributed internationally during Busworld Turkey (as well as at Paris’ Mobco), with a strong editorial focus on Turkey’s manufacturing landscape and on the technologies shaping the transition toward zero-emission public transport.

Two major industrial features anchor the edition. One analyses the Turkish bus manufacturing sector through market figures, production trends and executive perspectives from TEMSA, Anadolu Isuzu, Otokar and Karsan. The second takes readers inside VinFast manufacturing operations in Vietnam, with a deep dive on the company’s strategies for the European bus market.

Vehicle analysis is one of the core themes of the issue through a major comparison section dedicated to hydrogen buses presented at the Bonn Ebus Test 2026 edition.

Sustainable Bus Magazine is also available through international subscription. Subscribers can receive the print edition directly at their office or home worldwide, alongside access to in-depth reporting focused on bus and coach manufacturing, zero-emission technologies, infrastructure and public transport developments across global markets (info HERE).

Turkey, VinFast and industrial strategies in the Outlook section

The interview section includes conversations focused on automation and public transport development. Martin Lischka from Holon discusses integrated autonomous mobility solutions, while Britta Oehlrich from vhh.mobility addresses operational priorities and the direction of German public transport.

The Outlook section combines manufacturing analysis with strategic reporting on emerging players in e-mobility. Alongside the feature on Turkey’s bus industry, the magazine includes an in-depth overview of VinFast’s European ambitions, focusing on the company’s positioning, expansion plans and approach to the zero-emission mobility market.

Hydrogen buses take centre stage at Bonn Ebus Test 2026

Five fuel cell bus models are examined in detail following our participation to the Ebus Test 2026 organized by German trade magazine Omnibusspiegel: the MCV C127 FC, positioned for suburban low-entry operations; the Mercedes eCitaro fuel cell, developed around a battery-supported hydrogen concept; the best selling Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen (ready for a new generation integrating updated module by Ballard); the Wisdom HY-X, created through a Sino-German partnership; and the Wrightbus Kite Hydroliner.

The portfolio section concludes the magazine with an updated overview of zero-emission buses currently available on the European market, alongside reporting on infrastructure, industrial investment and public transport electrification projects worldwide.

Driver shortage pushes bus depots toward automation

Europe’s public transport operators are entering a period where staffing pressure and fleet electrification meet in the same place: the bus depot. Around 105,000 bus and coach driver positions remain unfilled across Europe (IRU figures cited in sector analyses), and a meaningful slice of working tim...
