Ebusco was founded in 2012 in Helmond. Here the workshop for two vehicles and the office were located in two different neighborhoods about 3 kilometers apart. This was the reason for moving to Deurne in September 2018, where the company has acquired a production hall of more than 7,000 m2 and sufficient office space.

Ebusco 2.0 is a 12 m long low-floor bus. It was presented to the public for the first time at the IAA Commercial Vehicles 2014 in Hanover and has a battery with an energy content of 242 kWh.
Ebusco 2.1 is also a 12 m long bus. The first vehicle was delivered in April 2017. Its battery has an energy content of 311 kWh.
Ebusco 2.2 has been available since 2018 and is produced in three different variants: as LF (Low Floor) with three doors, LE (Low Entry) with two doors both 12 m (39.4 ft) long and an articulated type 18 m (59.1 ft) long.
Ebusco 3.0 was presented at Busworld 2019, should be 33% lighter than its predecessor Ebusco 2.2 and drive up to 500 kilometres on battery charge. The Ebusco 3.0 is the first model to be built entirely in the Netherlands.
A battery electric bus is an electric bus that is driven by an electric motor and obtains energy from on-board batteries. Many trolleybuses use batteries as an auxiliary or emergency power source.
The Mercedes-Benz Vito is a mid-sized light commercial vehicle (LCV) produced by Mercedes-Benz, available as a panel van, chassis cab, or multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), carrying cargo or up to eight passengers. In the Mercedes-Benz van lineup, it is positioned between the larger Sprinter and the smaller Citan.
An electric vehicle battery is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).
A battery electric vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, only-electric vehicle, fully electric vehicle or all-electric vehicle is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that exclusively uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, with no secondary source of propulsion. BEVs use electric motors and motor controllers instead of internal combustion engines (ICEs) for propulsion. They derive all power from battery packs and thus have no internal combustion engine, fuel cell, or fuel tank. BEVs include – but are not limited to – motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, railcars, watercraft, forklifts, buses, trucks, and cars.
Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent is a measure of the average distance traveled per unit of energy consumed. MPGe is used by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to compare energy consumption of alternative fuel vehicles, plug-in electric vehicles and other advanced technology vehicles with the energy consumption of conventional internal combustion vehicles rated in miles per U.S. gallon.
The Gillig Low Floor is a transit bus manufactured by Gillig since 1997. The second low-floor bus design introduced in the United States, the Low Floor originally served as a second product range for the company alongside the Gillig Phantom. As transit bus operators shifted toward low-floor designs, the Low Floor has replaced the Phantom entirely, becoming the sole vehicle platform offered by the company since 2008.
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel.
The BYD K-series bus are a line of battery electric buses manufactured by the Chinese automaker BYD, powered with its self-developed lithium iron phosphate battery, featuring a typical operating range of 250 kilometres (160 mi) per charge under urban road conditions.
