Source Intelligence
The 50 Mercedes-Benz eCitaro battery-electric buses are part of a larger order placed in 2023 for 100 units, which included 70 articulated buses and 36 standard buses. Fifty-six of these articulated buses are already in service. MIVB/STIB aims to operate an entirely electric bus fleet by the end of 2035. The electrification involves significant investments in infrastructure, such as charging stations at some terminals and a completely new depot with state-of-the-art charging infrastructure in Neder-Over-Heembeek. The buses will operate on routes 47, 56, 58, 83, 46, 53, 87, and 89.
