Key Information

History

[edit]

Iveco (1975–1999)

[edit]

In 1975 Fiat Bus created the brand Iveco (Industrial Vehicle Corporation) which gradually took over operations of Officine Meccaniche (OM) and Orlandi in Italy, Berliet, Renault, Chausson, and Saviem in France, Karosa in the Czech Republic, Magirus-Deutz in Germany, and Pegaso in Spain.[5] With the integration of Renault Bus in 1999, Iveco Bus became Irisbus.

Irisbus (1999–2013)

[edit]

The French-Italian company was created in January 1999 by way of merger between the coach and bus divisions of Renault Véhicules Industriels and the coach and bus divisions of Fiat Industrial and Iveco, with Ikarus Bus added in late 1999. The Ikarus Bus division was sold off in 2006 to Hungary's Műszertechnika Group, acquiring the property of Heuliez and Karosa which became Iveco Czech Republic in 2007.

From 2003 to 2010, Irisbus was 100%-owned by Fiat Group's IVECO, and the company was named Irisbus Iveco.[6] On 14 September 2011, Fiat Industrial announced the closing of the Italian plant in Flumeri, Campania due to a drastic reduction in production, preparing the relocation of the activities to Annonay, France. Since 2013, Irisbus has been 100% owned by CNH Industrial's Iveco division.

Iveco Bus (since 2013)

[edit]

The Irisbus name was retired and the division is a branch of Iveco, rebranded as Iveco Bus in May 2013, after a reorganization plan.[7] All new buses are now sold under the IVECO brand, as are all the other commercial road vehicles produced by the group.

The company is based in Turin with offices in Lyon, Watford, and Mainz. Buses are developed in one of two Research and Development centres, one in Italy and one in Switzerland. The engines which power Iveco buses were developed in Italy by Fiat Powertrain Technologies.

On 25 February 2020, Iveco and Otokar sign an agreement for the joint production of buses at the Sakarya plant in Turkey to be sold in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.[8] Born from this agreement was the Iveco Bus Streetway presented in September 2021, based on the Urbanway chassis and with Iveco Cursor 9 engines. This model complements the Urbanway without replacing it.[9]

In March 2022, the 150,000th bus was produced at the Vysoké Mýto plant.[10]

On 18 April 2023, the new area in the Foggia plant (formerly Sofim) was inaugurated for the assembly of coaches and buses. The investment for setting up the production line amounts to around 40 million euros and benefits from the funds made available by the Next Generation EU package. The plant has a production capacity of 1000 buses per year. The first models to be assembled and finished will be the E-Way and Crossway buses.[11]

History

Iveco Bus Division Formation (1975–1999)

The formation of the Iveco bus division began with the establishment of Iveco on January 1, 1975, through the merger of several European commercial vehicle manufacturers under the Fiat Group, integrating bus operations primarily from Fiat Veicoli Industriali in Italy—which encompassed production from Fiat, OM, and Orlandi—along with Unic in France and Magirus-Deutz in Germany. This consolidation created a unified platform for bus manufacturing, shifting disparate national operations toward standardized Iveco branding while retaining specialized facilities for passenger vehicles. Early bus models under this new structure evolved from pre-merger Fiat designs, such as urban and intercity chassis, with production gradually transitioning to Iveco-badged vehicles by the early 1980s, exemplified by the adoption of the Iveco logo on vehicle grilles starting in 1982. Key expansions in the bus sector during the late 1980s and 1990s included the 1990 acquisition of a majority stake in Spain's (ENASA), which brought advanced bus and coach production capabilities from the lineage into the fold, enhancing southern European market presence. In 1996, a stake in the Czech bus manufacturer was acquired through Renault VI, laying groundwork for broader Eastern European integration. Initial European production sites for buses were established at legacy facilities, including and Suzzara in for chassis assembly, Ulm in for specialized urban vehicles, and later in following preparatory alliances. The 1980s and 1990s presented significant challenges for the bus division, marked by intensifying market competition from global players and the need for consolidation amid economic pressures in . To address these, Iveco pursued strategic alliances starting in 1991, such as partnerships with Sicca for coach and Altra for early electric and hybrid prototypes, aiming to streamline operations and prepare for larger joint ventures while navigating regulatory shifts toward emissions standards. A notable outcome was the launch of the EuroClass HD coach, which incorporated unified Iveco engineering and received the "Coach of the Year" award, signaling improved competitiveness despite ongoing integration hurdles from diverse brand legacies.

Irisbus Era (1999–2013)

In January 1999, Irisbus was established as a through the equal merger of the bus and coach divisions of and Véhicules Industriels (Renault VI), combining their expertise in passenger transport manufacturing. Headquartered in , , the new entity leveraged production facilities in —such as the historic plant for bus assembly—and , along with additional sites in , the , and , to streamline operations and enhance market reach across . This merger aimed to create a stronger competitive position in the European bus market by integrating complementary technologies and product lines from both parent companies. By 2003, had acquired full ownership of Irisbus from , solidifying its control under the Fiat Group and renaming it Irisbus Iveco. This transition marked a shift toward unified branding and operational consolidation. In late 1999, shortly after its formation, Irisbus expanded by acquiring the Hungarian bus manufacturer Ikarus Bus, incorporating its articulated and urban models into the portfolio; however, in 2006, Irisbus divested its stake in Ikarus to Hungary's Műszertechnika Group amid operational adjustments. Concurrently, Bus, a French specialist in low-floor and accessible vehicles, became a of Irisbus in 1999, enabling the production of innovative models like the Irisbus Civis and Cristalis from onward at Heuliez's Rorthais facility. These integrations, along with the 2007 incorporation of firm Karosa (rebranded as ), drove significant growth, with Irisbus establishing a diverse range of urban, , and coach products across multiple European plants. The period from 2010 to 2013 brought key challenges for Irisbus, exacerbated by the global financial crisis that reduced demand for commercial vehicles and strained the automotive sector. In response, Fiat Group undertook structural changes, spinning off its non-automotive activities in 2011 to form Fiat Industrial, which encompassed and positioned Irisbus for operational streamlining under this new entity. This restructuring laid the groundwork for the 2013 rebranding to , aligning the division more closely with Iveco's broader portfolio as Fiat Industrial merged with CNH Global to create . Despite these pressures, Irisbus maintained its focus on European markets, contributing to the evolution of sustainable and efficient bus designs during a transitional phase.
