For a better life

Our sustainable mobility solutions are transforming our cities and our planet. With zero emissions, no noise, efficient and accessible… the transport of the future is here.

Irizar e‑mobility has decided to promote the use of efficient, clean and accessible transport that is committed to the environment and to people’s well‑being and health, and that enables the creation of better urban environments. Particular emphasis is placed on reducing noise pollution, achieving low consumption that reduces costs, and developing zero‑emission vehicles. All these objectives serve to highlight the meaning of our motto, “for a better life”.

The ZERO EMISSIONS technology of the electric vehicles eliminates direct emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and toxic substances such as NOx and harmful particulates when operating in urban areas, which contributes to a healthier and more sustainable urban environment.

The electric technology removes the noise of the engine, enabling exterior noise emission when stopped and when starting to be virtually eliminated (0dBA), while the average noise emission of a bus with a conventional combustion engine is 68 dBA.

Zero direct emissions

A 100% electric articulated Irizar bus eliminates 120 tons of CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere each year.

Noise reduction

The electric technology makes the noise of the combustion engine disappear, which means there are no exterior sound emissions to annoy pedestrians when the bus is stopped and starting (0 dBA). When driving the noise pollution of the Irizar ie bus is 20% lower.

Commitment

Encouraging all our personnel to commit to environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Green energy factory

The total energy consumed by this plant is supplied by a photovoltaic energy centre located in Álava, making it the first fully sustainable production plant in Europe.

Production process

We are making progress in energy efficiency, in optimising waste management and in reducing the environmental impact generated by our business activities and products.

Eco design

Continuous research and development of new bus manufacturing technologies and new materials positions us at the forefront of ecodesign in our sector, offering environmentally sustainable products.

Eco innovation

Continuous vigilance in our innovation projects in order to replace materials and technologies with new ones that are more environmentally friendly and by using lighter materials and technology to reduce consumption and toxic gas emissions.

Towards an EPD

Irizar is the first company in the sector worldwide to initiate an Environmental Product Declaration project, which will provide data on its impact on global warming, resource depletion, energy consumption from fossil or renewable sources, pollutant emissions during manufacturing, content of hazardous substances, and more.

Consumption

Responsible energy consumption.

Recyclability

The manufacture of the buses prioritises the disassembly and recyclability of their components. Vehicle recyclability and recoverability rates are above 90% in accordance with ISO 22628.

The batteries are 99% recyclable, according to data from the European Commission‑funded LIFE “RecLionBat” project, which develops techniques that enable this type of battery to be recycled.

The bus has a longer service life and lower maintenance requirements.

The inverters and the other components of the traction system of the ie bus have a service life equal to or greater than that of the vehicle itself; this is not the case for combustion vehicles.
