Having won the 2018, 2020 and 2023 Sustainable Bus of the Year awards in the intercity category, IVECO BUS continues its success in the same category with its new CROSSWAY Low Entry ELEC, which was crowned 'Sustainable Bus of the Year 2024'. This 100% electric vehicle, recently
introduced in the CROSSWAY range, completes the zero-emission offer offered by the manufacturer to support the energy transition.
The jury of the Sustainable Bus Award made up of journalists representing eight European countries – Italy, France, Germany, Finland, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, Romania and Spain – paid particular attention to the cross-cutting principles of sustainable development, including the ability to establish a positive image of the vehicle among the general public. Different aspects come into play, such as safety, comfort, noise level, recyclability of components and the manufacturer's environmental commitments. The jury also highlighted the many possible development solutions for interurban
transport.
"We are delighted to receive the 'Sustainable Bus of the Year 2024' award with our CROSSWAY Low Entry ELEC. It is an important recognition of our capacity for innovation and all the advances that have resulted from this work to anticipate the evolution of the public transit industry. This award confirms our long-standing commitment to ever more sustainable mobility and our ambition to drive the energy transition with our low-carbon solutions. It is with great pride that we receive this fourth ‘Sustainable Bus of the Year’ title in the intercity category with the CROSSWAY, the undisputed leader in its segment,"
