About EURABUS
EURABUS GmbH is a German manufacturer of fully electric battery buses headquartered in Berlin. Founded in 2015 as a subsidiary of Euracom Group GmbH, the company produces, converts and markets buses, electric buses and special vehicles as well as drive components in the field of electromobility. The portfolio includes E-city buses (12 m solo, 18 m articulated), E-coaches and E-special buses for airport, conference, works and school bus services. Characteristics include a consistent lightweight aluminium construction based on aircraft engineering principles, high battery capacities with lithium iron phosphate batteries (up to 788 kWh) and ranges of up to 650 km. Production follows a modular kit system that allows rapid assembly directly in the target markets; in Almaty (Kazakhstan), Eurabus operates an assembly plant with a capacity of 500 buses per year. The vehicles are EU-certified, usually through German partners such as TÜV. In addition to manufacturing, the company offers fleet requirement analyses, charging infrastructure planning, implementation, maintenance with IP-based predictive maintenance as well as conversions of buses and special vehicles.
