The plant has been running since April, 2017 and has already delivered bus fleets to the Netherlands and Sweden and is now producing buses for Brussels Airport.
The factory has already started production of electric bus chassis for customers in the UK.
“One of our main goals in public transportation is to increase the current number of passengers by making public transportation more attractive,” said Hungary Deputy State Secretary Gyula Pomazi.
“One of the key objectives of the Ministry’s new bus strategy, which is now on the table of the government, is to achieve a newer vehicle fleet, to provide lower air pollution, which is most easily achieved by purchasing new vehicles.”
