IVECO BUS will supply its first GX 337 H2 LINIUM buses to the Cannes Lérins Urban Community with deliveries starting in the second half of 2025. These new zero-emission BRT buses will extend the fleet of GX ELEC buses already in operation on the PALM BUS network, which enters a new phase with the adoption of hydrogen technology.
The Cannes Lérins Urban Community has been operating a fully decarbonised bus fleet (107 vehicles) since June 2023 using electric power and biofuels. In keeping with this, its president, David Lisnard, has chosen to produce and distribute clean hydrogen starting in 2025 by installing a production station in Cannes – a first in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. On completion, 41 buses will be fuelled with clean hydrogen.
“We are very proud to have been selected by the Cannes Lérins Urban Community for the supply of these 12 new GX 337 H2 buses,” said Giorgio Zino, Head of IVECO BUS Europe Commercial Operations. “This renewed trust confirms IVECO BUS’s excellence in zero-emission mobility solutions, and in particular hydrogen technology.”
The GX 337 H2 LINIUM is efficient and high-performing, featuring a 100 kW fuel cell and hydrogen tanks paired with a 69 kWh battery for a range of up to 450 km. Its “mid power” design significantly reduces hydrogen consumption by 15 to 20% compared to market standards, while offering excellent thermal comfort and a high passenger capacity of up to 110.
With its modern, aerodynamic design, the GX 337 H2 LINIUM seamlessly integrates into the urban environment. Inside, its carefully designed interior enhances passenger well-being and comfort.
