Social commitment: from the blood donation bus to ice hockey
EUROBUS puts its buses and experience to work where they serve society: with Switzerland’s first blood donation bus, with converted coaches for the Swiss Paraplegic Association and with long-standing partnerships in ice hockey and football.
EUROBUS maintains partnerships with various Swiss clubs and companies, based on long-standing cooperation and mutual trust. In the health sector, EUROBUS works with knechtcare, which, like EUROBUS, belongs to the Knecht Group.

Blood donation bus for the Swiss Red Cross blood donation service
On behalf of the Swiss Red Cross blood donation service of both Basels and the Swiss Red Cross blood donation service Aargau-Solothurn, EUROBUS runs the first blood donation bus in Switzerland. The mobile blood donation unit drives straight to the donors: to regular donation drives for the public and to blood donations at numerous companies and clubs. That way, blood donation comes to the people. Between 140 and 200 operations take place every year.
You will find information on the blood donation bus at the Blood Donation Service of both Basels.
