Iveco Bus eFLEXY Debuts With 300 km Electric Range

Iveco Bus eFLEXY Makes European Premiere at FIAA 2026

Iveco Bus eFLEXY made its European premiere on September 22 at FIAA 2026 in Madrid, Spain, introducing two fully electric compact minibuses to the M2 segment. The eFLEXY Line and eFLEXY City are 6-meter vehicles with gross weights below 5 tonnes, targeting line, shuttle, interurban, and urban transportation applications. Both models use a 205 kW electric motor paired with a 110 kWh battery and provide more than 300 km of range. The European premiere runs from September 22 to 24, 2026, giving operators and industry visitors an opportunity to examine the new electric minibus range from Iveco Bus.

eFLEXY Line and eFLEXY City Bring Two Transport Configurations

The two models address different operating requirements within the M2 compact minibus segment. The eFLEXY Line is a Class B vehicle designed for line, shuttle, and interurban services, with capacity for up to 13 passengers plus the driver. The eFLEXY City is a Class A model intended for urban transportation and can accommodate up to 17 passengers depending on its configuration. This differentiation allows the electric platform to serve both scheduled passenger services and city-focused applications while maintaining the same core electric powertrain and battery specifications across the range.

Electric Powertrain Supports More Than 300 km Range

Both eFLEXY models are equipped with a 205 kW electric motor and a 110 kWh battery designed to provide more than 300 km of driving range. Charging capability includes AC charging at up to 22 kW and DC charging at up to 150 kW. With DC fast charging, the battery can reach 80% capacity in less than one hour. These specifications give the compact minibuses a combination of range and charging flexibility suited to passenger transportation operations where vehicles may need to return to service quickly between scheduled journeys.

Lightweight Construction and Driver Assistance Features

The eFLEXY Line and eFLEXY City use aluminum panels and ABS trim as part of their lightweight construction. The vehicles also feature Level 2+ advanced driver assistance systems and comply with the latest European General Safety Regulation requirements. In addition to the driver-assistance technology, both models provide three driving modes and four levels of regenerative braking. These systems allow operators and drivers to manage vehicle behavior and energy recovery according to operating conditions while supporting the broader safety and efficiency requirements associated with modern electric passenger vehicles in Spain and the wider European market.

eFLEXY Models Target Different Passenger Capacities

Passenger capacity is one of the principal differences between the two electric minibuses. The eFLEXY Line can transport up to 13 passengers in addition to the driver, reflecting its focus on line, shuttle, and interurban services. The eFLEXY City can carry up to 17 passengers depending on the selected configuration, supporting higher-capacity urban applications. Both vehicles remain within the 6-meter compact minibus format and below 5 tonnes, giving Iveco Bus two configurations for operators with different passenger-volume and route requirements.

eFLEXY Line and eFLEXY City Specifications

The core specifications presented at FIAA 2026 establish a common technical foundation for the two electric minibuses while distinguishing their intended applications and passenger capacities. The following table summarizes the key specifications and planned delivery information provided for the eFLEXY Line and eFLEXY City.

Iveco Displays Broader Electric and Alternative-Fuel Lineup

Alongside the two new compact electric minibuses, Iveco Bus displayed several other vehicles at FIAA 2026. The lineup included the 13-meter Crossway ELEC intercity bus, Crossway Low Entry hybrid compatible with XTL renewable fuels, the 13-meter EVADYS coach compatible with biofuels, the G-WAY biomethane midibus, and the eDAILY LE zero-emission low-entry minibus. The broader display places the eFLEXY models within a wider portfolio covering electric, hybrid, biofuel-compatible, biomethane, and other lower-emission passenger transportation applications.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The eFLEXY Line and eFLEXY City expand the range of fully electric vehicles available in the compact M2 minibus segment, with different passenger capacities aimed at urban, shuttle, line, and interurban operations. Their combination of more than 300 km of range, 150 kW DC charging, and 80% charging in under one hour addresses key operational considerations for passenger transport operators evaluating electric fleets. With first deliveries planned for Q1 2027, the next stage will involve bringing the two configurations into customer operations and demonstrating how their range, charging capability, passenger capacity, and driver-assistance systems perform across their intended European applications.
