Temsa announces it has completed the delivery of 10 intercity electric buses to Portugal as part of a wider handover of 65 vehicles across Ireland, Portugal and Italy.
The Portuguese delivery centres on the LD SB E, which Temsa positions as Europe’s first fully electric intercity bus as it was presented for the first time at the IAA expo in Hannover in 2022 and re-proposed at Busworld in Brussels in October 2023.

The latest handover represents another step in Temsa’s effort to strengthen its positioning in Europe within a broader international growth trajectory. With more than 140,000 vehicles produced globally and over 18,000 units exported to 70 countries, the Turkish manufacturer continues to view Europe as a core region for both volume development and technological deployment. The December deliveries close the year with a measurable increase in Temsa’s active fleet across multiple national markets, providing momentum heading into early 2026.
Temsa outlines that the Portuguese delivery marks a significant milestone as Temsa’s first export of the LD SB E model, while bringing Temsa’s total vehicle fleet in Portugal to 250 units.
The remaining vehicles were delivered to Ireland and Italy, with Sicily playing a central role in the Italian allocation. The latest handover, performed via Temsa’s Italian dealer Troiani, increases the number of Temsa buses operating on the island to 206 units, with the new vehicles set to enter service in Taormina, a high-intensity tourist market.
CEO Evren Güzel stated: “As we consistently enhance our strong performance in bus production and sales, we are further solidifying Temsa’s position as the ‘preferred mobility brand.’ These three significant deliveries made in December across our priority markets are a clear testament to our determination to grow in Europe. Furthermore, I am proud to share that our MD9 RHD model has been named the ‘2026 Coach of the Year’ in the midi segment in Ireland. In the upcoming period, while accelerating our deliveries, we will continue to reinforce the three core values that set Temsa apart: our broad product range, customer-centric solutions, and smart flexibility. Guided by these elements, we will continue to expand our global footprint”.
