Ebusco starts production of 18 metre electric bus at Golden Dragon plant in China

Dutch electric bus manufacturer Ebusco has begun producing its 18 metre articulated electric bus at the Golden Dragon factory in China, according to Bus-News. The move marks Ebusco's entry into manufacturing longer articulated vehicles through its Chinese production partnership. No production volumes or delivery timelines were disclosed in the report.

Why it matters: The production launch signals Ebusco's push into the articulated bus segment, which typically requires higher power charging infrastructure and could drive demand for depot charging upgrades. Manufacturing in China may also position the company to compete on cost in Asian markets where 18 metre electric buses are increasingly specified for high capacity urban routes.
