Modern bus fleet: Euro 6, hybrid and electric
Your coach is just 3.5 years old on average, because EUROBUS renews its fleet year after year. All coaches run on engines meeting the Euro 6 emission standard, and in public transport and school bus services EUROBUS relies on hybrid and electric drive systems.
The EUROBUS fleet comprises 500 buses, from minibuses and scheduled-service buses to double-deckers. Year after year, EUROBUS renews part of the fleet; the average age of the coaches is 3.5 years. Thanks to modern technology, travelling with EUROBUS also makes sense from an environmental point of view.
