In addition to its electric city bus, Avenue Electron, TEMSA introduced Europe’s first electric intercity bus, LD SB E, to the participants, and also introduced its intercity hydrogen bus, which it will develop together with CaetanoBus, one of Europe’s most important hydrogen vehicle manufacturers, for the first time at Busworld Europe. He introduced it. The hydrogen bus, the work of which started with the Joint Development Agreement signed last month, will combine the Toyota hydrogen fuel cell technology (Hydrogen fuel cell) used by CaetanoBus in its city buses with the electric and long-distance bus experience of TEMSA engineers. With the technology to be built on the TEMSA HD platform, it is planned that the bus in question will be able to cover a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers with a single tank, depending on different road and geographical conditions. “The vehicle, which is expected to go into mass production in 2025, will also be Turkey’s first intercity hydrogen bus.”
