The adoption of greener public transport in Flanders is accelerating. IVECO BUS has delivered a total of 110 Iveco Bus Crossway Low Entry Elec buses to operators working for De Lijn. This delivery marks an important step in the transition to an emission-free fleet and demonstrates the close collaboration between IVECO BUS and the private operators responsible for daily operations.
Iveco Bus Crossway Low Entry Elec: efficient, quiet, and sustainable
The Iveco Bus Crossway Low Entry Elec is specially designed to meet the needs of regional and intercity lines. Equipped with advanced battery technology, it provides a range of up to 400 km, depending on the route profile and usage. Its 485-kWh battery allows for fast charging via CCS2 plugs. With a capacity of up to 45 seats and more than 70 standing passengers, the Iveco Bus Crossway Low Entry Elec also offers optimal accessibility with a low central entry, wide doors, and wheelchair spaces. Air conditioning, USB charging ports, and quiet electric operation guarantee passenger and driver comfort.
The deployment of these 110 vehicles plays a crucial role in Flanders’ electrification strategy. Through the collaboration with various operators, zero-emission mobility is becoming widespread in the region, allowing an increasing number of passengers to enjoy the benefits of quiet, clean, and comfortable public transport every day.
