VinFast, one of Vietnam’s leading electric vehicle producers, is ready to unveil two sleek electric buses, the EB 8 and EB 12, at the Busworld 2025 show in Brussels. Built to comply with the latest EU rules, these buses are all set to transform how people get around Europe, whether for work or leisure. Powered entirely by electricity, they promise zero emissions and are packed with smart features to keep passengers comfortable and connected. By offering these services, the buses help Europe hit its strict emissions goals, making city travel cleaner and more responsible.
Launching these two models is more than just another product announcement for VinFast; it’s a key milestone in the company’s plan to deepen its presence in Europe. Full operations are expected to kick off in 2026, right in time for the EU’s requirement that at least 90% of new buses produce zero emissions by 2030. The EB 8 and EB 12 will give passengers—whether they’re on a daily commute or a sightseeing adventure—an eco-friendly and efficient way to move throughout Europe’s busy city centres.
Sustainable Transport for Tourists Exploring Europe
Europe’s commitment to green tourism is on the rise, and the arrival of VinFast’s electric buses is helping drive that change. Each bus comes with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries built by CATL and Gotion, providing a solid driving range of about 400 km on a single charge. This makes them perfect for urban services, especially the scenic routes that travellers love to take when visiting Europe.
When tourists hop on these electric buses in cities like Paris, Berlin, Rome, or Madrid, they travel knowing their ride is leaving a smaller carbon footprint. With visitor numbers climbing and more people searching for eco-friendly choices, the buses replace older diesel fleets that have long contributed to city-centre pollution. It’s pollution down, green travel up.
Onboard, travellers will find useful perks like free Wi-Fi, multiple USB charging spots, and up-to-date city guides on screens overhead, letting them plan their next stop while on the move. The buses also kneel at the curb, making it quicker and safer for everyone to board, especially older travellers and those with limited mobility. It’s style and sustainability, all rolled into one ride.
Elevate Your Daily Commute with Smart VinFast E-Buses
The brand-new VinFast electric buses are not just a treat for tourists—they’re a game-changer for anyone who lives or works in Europe’s biggest cities. As more people pack into urban centres, public transport has to step up. These buses do just that, cutting emissions and packing a bunch of features designed to make every ride more comfortable and safe.
Each bus comes loaded with cutting-edge driver-assist tech. You’ll find blind spot alerts, intelligent speed control, forward collision warnings, and even a drowsiness check for the driver. In crowded streets, this tech keeps passengers and bus operators safe. With more eyes on the road—thanks to sensors and smart software—the ride feels more secure. As cities tighten rules around safety and air quality, these innovations make sure commuting is not only smoother but also smarter.
Tourism-Friendly Design and Infrastructure for Easy Integration
The EB 12, crafted especially for Europe, is designed to fit right into local regulations and infrastructure. This means it can blend into current public transport networks without a hitch. By focusing on the most popular travel routes and adding stops near top tourist sites, these electric buses will simplify travel for locals and tourists alike. Travellers can move around cities and reach famous attractions with greater ease.
Each bus boasts digital screens and real-time updates, sharing key information about stops, arrival times, and nearby landmarks. This smart feature makes public transport tourist-friendly. Travellers can check the next stop, see a map, or read about a nearby museum, allowing them to plan on the go without missing a beat.
The Role of Electric Buses in Europe’s Green Tourism Strategy
While cities across Europe aim to slash carbon emissions and offer greener travel experiences, the arrival of electric buses like the VinFast EB 8 and EB 12 is a significant step. By lowering emissions on popular tourist routes, these vehicles support climate goals and meet the rising traveller demand for eco-friendly options. As Europe builds a sustainable future for tourism, electric buses will carry visitors— and the vision—forward, one clean ride at a time.
In cities where visitors keep the economy moving, smart public transport choices are key to protecting the planet and still welcoming crowds. These new electric buses promise to cut down on both smog and the rumble of engines, making the streets friendlier for tourists and locals alike. More and more, vacationers are choosing places that genuinely care for the environment, so VinFast’s quiet, green buses will help Europe stay on the map as the go-to spot for planet-friendly travel.
VinFast’s Vision for a Green Future in European Transport
Madam Le Thi Thu Thuy, Chairwoman of VinFast, noted that Europe’s own green plans mirror the company’s mission for a sustainable tomorrow. The rollout of the new electric bus line at Busworld 2025 marks a big step in VinFast’s promise to the continent. The team doesn’t just want to sell single electric cars. They’re building a full green transport network that makes clean travel easier for everyone, everywhere.
VinFast’s hands-on know-how in rolling out a complete electric bus network in Vietnam—where the company builds, runs, and services e-buses for city transit—will simplify the arrival of these vehicles in Europe. With a yearly output of 1,500 to 2,000 electric buses, VinFast is ready to meet the continent’s skyrocketing appetite for eco-friendly transit.
Conclusion: A Greener Future for Tourism and Urban Mobility in Europe
The debut of VinFast’s e-buses at Busworld 2025 is a big leap toward greener transport for Europe. These vehicles give tourists and daily commuters a low-emission, high-efficiency option, helping cut carbon footprints and modernise public transit across the continent. As European destinations keep turning toward sustainability, the e-buses are a smart answer that protects the planet while enhancing the travelling experience—promising a cleaner, easier, and fairer tomorrow for everyone.
