Brussels, October 4^th2025 – TEMSA introduced its latest electric city bus, the Avenue Neo, at Busworld 2025 in Brussels. As the company’s new 9-meter electric bus, Avenue Neo combines high passenger capacity, long range, and operational flexibility to address the growing needs of European cities and suburban mobility. Building on the proven architecture of the MD9 Electricity, operated for more than 5 million kilometers in diverse climates from Northern Europe to Southern Mediterranean, Avenue Neo transfers TEMSA’s extensive know-how into a compact, modern platform.

The Avenue Neo is powered by a TM4 265 kW electric motor, supported by a battery system of up to 384 kWh with liquid cooling thermal management. Depending on configuration, the model can carry up to 75 passengers and offers a range of up to 600 kilometers with a high-capacity battery option. The vehicle can be fully charged in 75 minutes using a 300 kW DC connection with an inverted pantograph option also being available. The Avenue Neo is equipped with a 20 kW electric preheater and a 33 kW air conditioning system, ensuring passenger comfort in all seasons.

“Designed to Lead Your Journey” defines TEMSA’s vision

Speaking at the press conference held at Busworld 2025, Evren Güzel, CEO of TEMSA, said: “Our motto, ‘Designed to Lead Your Journey,’ defines our culture and our vision as a mobility company. What makes TEMSA unique are four core value propositions: Our wide product range, comprehensive services, customer-oriented solutions, and smart flexibility. These pillars guide every step we take, ensuring that sustainability runs through everything we do and that innovation always translates into real solutions for our customers. This value-driven approach, while strengthening our mobility transformation, delivers measurable financial results, showing once again that we are truly ‘Designed to Lead Your Journey’. Between 2022 and 2024, we grew our business by nearly 70 percent in euro terms, reaching €429 million revenue in 2024, the highest level in Temsa’s history. Today, 68 percent of our revenues come from global markets. In Europe and the U.S. –two of the most competitive regions in our industry– we achieved growth rates of 43 percent and 49 percent respectively between 2023 and 2024. In markets where even double-digit annual growth is seen as ambitious, we have consistently outperformed industry averages. We are transforming strategically and growing financially, at the same time. This harmony is our greatest success and the engine of our next chapter.”

TEMSA vehicles have already travelled more than 10 billion kilometers worldwide

Güzel also highlighted TEMSA’s global reach and extensive know-how: “With over 140,000 vehicles produced and a presence in 70 countries, TEMSA is one of the few manufacturers offering one of the broadest zero-emission portfolios in the industry. From buses to midibuses, light-duty trucks and micromobility, every step has expanded our knowledge and our vision. This accumulated capability is now allowing us to advance electrification across multiple segments. Beyond vehicles, our engineering teams design and produce critical battery technologies in-house—from battery management systems to electronic control boards and system integration. This gives us the flexibility to adapt solutions to different geographies, respond to customer-specific needs, and deliver integrated systems that add real value. With nearly 60 years of continuous innovation, TEMSA vehicles have already travelled more than 10 billion kilometers worldwide. These are billions of journeys made possible— we design according to our customers’ needs, so that they can lead their journey.”

Avenue Neo reflects our ability to stay approachable, enterprising, and agile

Caner Sevginer, TEMSA Vice President of R&D and Technology, underlined the company’s innovation approach: “At TEMSA, every step we take is guided by productization—by turning ideas into vehicles that meet real customer needs. Over the past five years, this mindset has allowed us to launch seven new models. Avenue Neo is the latest outcome of this approach. TEMSA’s strength as a creator of customer-oriented segments brought Avenue Neo as a product that offers everything a 10.5-meter bus can deliver, while providing the robustness and strength that smaller platforms cannot provide. Built on the proven architecture of the MD9 Electricity, Avenue Neo takes advantage of the experience of more than 5 million kilometers on the road—from the cold winters of Sweden and Lithuania to the hot summers of Spain and Turkey. With this heritage, we have re-engineered the knowledge gained from years of operation into a modern vehicle, enriched with several improvements. Avenue Neo is not just a new bus; it is the embodiment of TEMSA’s ability to transform accumulated know-how into customer-oriented, future-ready mobility solutions.”
