Iveco Bus, the urban, intercity and tourist bus brand of the Iveco Group, has signed a framework agreement for the supply of more than 900 Crossway buses to Austrian ÖBB Postbus AG, the country’s largest bus company and market leader in regional bus services.

The frame contract comprises 540 vehicles to be delivered by the end of 2026 and an option for further 380 units to be delivered by the end of 2028, for a total value of about 225 million euros (Rs 1,977 crore).

Combining operational efficiency, versatility and performance, the Iveco Crossway is one of the most popular intercity buses, with nearly half of the European market share in its category.
