The brand received orders for a total of 31 hydrogen fuel cell buses and 20 battery electric buses in September 2024. The Cannes Lérins Urban Community, Lorient Agglomération, and Grand Reims Mobilités are the urban communities that entrusted IVECO BUS with these contracts. Cannes Lérins Urban Community ordered twelve GX 337 H2 LINIUM BRT hydrogen fuel cell buses to complement their existing fleet of GX ELEC battery electric buses. Lorient Agglomération also opted for IVECO BUS's hydrogen technology by ordering nineteen GX 337 H2 LINIUM buses. Additionally, Grand Reims Mobilités selected IVECO BUS to provide twenty GX 437 ELEC LINIUM BRT battery electric buses, with an option for nine more, for operation in Reims starting in autumn 2025. The hydrogen fuel cell buses chosen by Cannes and Lorient are the result of a partnership between Iveco Group and Hyundai Motor Company, integrating advanced fuel cell systems from HTWO and battery packs from FPT Industrial. On the other hand, the battery electric buses for Reims are part of IVECO BUS's successful range, already popular among numerous European customers.
