IVECO BUS wins ‘Sustainable Bus of the Year’ Award and launches innovative on-demand mobility technology in collaboration with Via

IVECO #bus, a brand of Iveco Group N.V. (MI: IVG), has won the coveted ‘Sustainable #bus of the Year’ award, in the intercity category, for its CROSSWAY Low Entry HYBRID Natural Gas, biomethane compatible, #busThis is the third such title won by #ivecobus and follows the 2018 Award for its Low Entry CROSSWAY version and the 2020 title for the Natural Gas-powered CROSSWAY.

The Award’s jury panel comprises seven representatives from Europe’s major sector publications. In awarding the title, the jurors evaluated factors such as safety, comfort, noise levels, component recyclability and the sustainability commitment of the manufacturer as well as the ability to establish a positive image of the vehicle with the public it serves.

The CROSSWAY Low Entry HYBRID Natural Gas #bus is an alternative for Regions, Counties and Cities wishing to provide transport solutions which are fully compatible with energy transition projects. It delivers up to 15% fuel savings compared to the diesel variant and a reduction of CO2 emissions of up to 82% with renewable fuels.

Moreover, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding last July, #ivecobus today launches its collaboration with transit tech company Via, offering firstly #ivecobus customers in Italy the ability, from early 2023, to purchase through its dealer network tailored software for on-demand transport solutions.

The two partners will continue to explore the possibility of developing easy-to-deploy solutions for Public Transport Authorities and Operators – from demand-responsive transportation to autonomous public transport powered by alternative energies. Also under evaluation are opportunities for autonomous on-demand shuttles.

“This third Award reaffirms IVECO BUS’ position as the European leader in the intercity segment and confirms Iveco Group’s commitment to sustainable mobility. Together with the first outcome of the partnership with Via, they prove that #ivecobus steadily pursues the evolution from a traditional business to a future strongly marked by the trends that are revolutionizing the passenger transport sector, such as energy transition and new business models”, said #domeniconucera, President #bus Business Unit, Iveco Group.
