VinFast Electric Buses Headed For Europe - CleanTechnica

Vietnamese automaker VinFast is making a strategic push into the European electric bus market, unveiling two purpose-built electric bus models—the EB 8 and EB 12—at the Busworld Europe 2025 exhibition. This move targets the EU’s ambitious climate goals, which require 90% of new city buses to be zero-emission by 2030, creating a large demand for electric public transport solutions.

The flagship EB 12 model is fully homologated to meet European UNECE and CE regulations, designed specifically for European infrastructure with features such as LFP battery packs from CATL and Gotion offering up to 422 kWh capacity and a range of 400 km. Fast charging (140 kW) allows full recharge in 2 to 3 hours, minimizing
