De Lijn, the Flemish government company that operates approximately 1,000 public bus and tram lines in Flanders, has awarded a framework agreement for 100 vehicles to Spanish bus builder Irizar e-Mobility, the EV manufacturing division of Irizar Group.
Under the agreement, De Lijn has the additional option to order HOV e-buses, which are used on longer routes; they are larger and more spacious, with enhanced passenger comfort and amenities.
“E-buses for HOV differ from regular e-buses by a more streamlined exterior and high-quality interior design,” said Ann Schoubs, Director General of De Lijn. “With Irizar, we have an additional supplier who has a strong reputation in the e-bus market for this higher segment.”
