We want to see people smile, laugh and know that we’ve still got their backs. It’s an event not to be missed, which shows how the bus industry can be innovative and forward-thinking. It’s the perfect one-stop shop for everything coach and bus! For us, Euro Bus Expo is the one to watch.

Introducing the New Irizar i6S Efficient, our most Efficient coach to date.
With the new i6S, consumption and emissions have been reduced up to 13%, weight is down to 950 kg and the aerodynamic coefficient is 30% lower. That makes it a latest generation vehicle designed to provide maximum efficiency to operators, the best experience to passengers and it emphasises sustainability.

This has resulted in a lighter vehicle, weighing up to 955 kg less, depending on the chosen configuration.
With its structural redesign and incorporation of optimised and innovative technology solutions, the i4 will generate significant fuel savings of up to 5% and, therefore, improvements in CO2 emissions reductions.
