25 Ebusco 2.2 buses for Speyer region
These 25 buses represent the largest order under the DB framework so far and mark the beginning of Speyer’s complete fleet electrification. The 12-metre low-floor buses will each be equipped with a battery pack exceeding 400 kWh, allowing them to drive a full day operation on a single charge.
