Ebusco is a Dutch manufacturer of electric buses and accompanying charging infrastructure.
History
Ebusco was founded in 2012 in Helmond. However, the vehicle workshop and the office were located in two different neighbourhoods of the city about 3 kilometres apart. Therefore, the company moved to Deurne in September 2018, where the company had acquired a production hall of more than 7,000 m2 and sufficient office space.
Since 22 October 2021, Ebusco has been listed on the Euronext in Amsterdam. The major shareholder is the company's founder, Peter Bijvelds. After the IPO in October 2021 he held 35.4% of the shares with ING Group being the next largest shareholder with an equity interest of 21%.[3]
In 2024 the company failed to deliver 59 buses to Qbuzz by the agreed delivery date. Spare parts for buses already in service were also not be delivered, causing 10% of Qbuzz buses to be out of service. Qbuzz demanded payment of the previously agreed compensation for late delivery. After Ebusco failed to pay the compensation, Qbuzz seized €1.2 million of Ebusco's bank accounts, which meant that Ebusco was unable to pay its staff's salaries.[4]
