International Minibus of the Year announced

Announced at the International Bus and Coach Fair (FIAA) in Madrid, the Tremonia City 75 Electric was named International Minibus of the Year 2025.

The 2024 edition of the competition had six competitors for the title:

• Romanian Aveuro based on the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter;
• the 6m electric minibus by the French company Bluebus;
• the eUrban model from the Catalan company Car-Bus.net, built in partnership with Zeroid;
• the HVO-compatible Mercedes-Benz Reform-S City Max from the Hungarian company Inter Traction Electric;
• the e-CENTRO electric minibus from the Turkish manufacturer Otokar;
• and the City 75 Electric developed by the German firm Tremonia Mobility.

The International Bus & Coach of the Year Jury for the competition is made up of 24 of the industry’s journalists representing 24 European countries, including Bus and Coach Buyer Founding Editor, Stuart Jones. The team test drove and analysed the behaviour of each participating vehicle in practice at a three days event. Through on-site technical explanations by the manufacturers’ representatives the Jury also got a deep insight into the details of each participant. This approach is a cornerstone of the International Bus & Coach of the year jury’s modus operandi, as it allows the vehicles to be evaluated as a driver, as a passenger and from an operator’s point of view.

Tremonia City 75 Electric has impressed the Jury with its all-round practical solutions and large windows for bright passenger area which can be surely attributed to its pedigree. The two-axle City 75 Electric has a very spacious low-floor passenger area for great accessibility and comfort. Its wide double-leaf front doors and single rear-door speed up passenger flow, while the custom-made electric driveline offers smooth acceleration and a selectable recuperation level to suit the conditions. Three battery packs with 115 kWh capacity are built into the floor in the front and rear part of the vehicle and enable range of up to 300 kilometres.

The winning trophy for the International Minibus of the Year 2025 was presented by Tom Terjesen, president of the Jury, to Josa Prinz, CEO & CTO of Tremonia Mobility, during the gala evening that took place at the FIAA exhibition on Monday 21 October.
