BUS OF THE YEAR

A global recognition for IBE Intermobility Future Ways

The Bus of the Year award, established over 40 years ago, is the most prestigious recognition in the bus industry worldwide
 

The title is assigned by an international jury of 23 specialist journalists - representing the leading European publications in the sector - at the end of a rigorous evaluation process that rewards technological excellence, sustainability, safety, comfort and build quality.

During the Coach Euro Test, held in Modena, Italy from 8 to 12 September 2025, the finalist vehicles were analysed along a 426 km route that crossed three regions symbolic of Italy: Emilia-Romagna, Liguria and Tuscany.
 

It will be at the Rimini Exhibition Centre that the evaluation process will enter its final phase.
