Retrofleet: A revolution in the energy transition of public transport

A key milestone for Retrofleet in June 2023

In June 2023, Retrofleet , a leader in converting internal combustion engine vehicles to electric, marked a major milestone by launching the series production of its electric coaches. This decision was made possible by the official homologation of its prototype, the Iveco Crossway . This moment represents a new step towards the decarbonization of public transport and for local authorities wishing to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Iveco Crossway prototype: a technological feat

Retrofleet's Iveco Crossway prototype , the first homologated retrofitted coach, illustrates the company's technical expertise and innovation. This conversion solution guarantees performance equivalent to that of internal combustion engine vehicles, while significantly reducing polluting emissions.

Features adapted to current needs:

• Optimized autonomy for transport operators' daily journeys.
• Reduced operating costs thanks to electric motorization.
• Compatibility with standard charging infrastructures.

Renowned partners: Keolis and Transdev

Retrofleet's first mass-produced electric coaches have been delivered to major operators such as Keolis and Transdev . These leading public transport companies are actively participating in the energy transition by adopting sustainable solutions for their fleets. This collaboration demonstrates the reliability and relevance of the technologies developed by Retrofleet.

A significant impact on the decarbonization of transport

The launch of mass production of electric-converted coaches paves the way for a massive reduction in CO₂ emissions in the public transport sector. These initiatives enable:

• To modernize existing fleets at a controlled cost.
• To extend the lifespan of vehicles already in circulation.
• To meet the environmental objectives set by local and European policies.

A vision for the future of Retrofleet

With this advancement, Retrofleet confirms its central role in the energy transition of professional fleets . The company plans to continue developing its solutions for other types of heavy vehicles, in partnership with strategic players in the sector.

The success of the Iveco Crossway prototype and its entry into series production thus marks a decisive turning point in the modernization of public transport.
