Roadshow Hungary and Czech Republic – Turning Point for Electric Buses?
What do battery swapping, passenger heat maps and historic city centers have in common? The Roadshow in Hungary and the Czech Republic took a deep dive into the complex reality of bus transformation.
Four speakers, one moderator and a wealth of practical insights: This was the first stop of the BUS2BUS Roadshow in the Czech Republic and Hungary, which focused on the topic of “The Future of Sustainable Drives in the Bus Industry”. It brought together perspectives from manufacturers, IT companies and policy advocates – and offered an honest look at the opportunities and roadblocks of zero-emission mobility in Hungary and the Czech Republic.
Moderator Anja Lange guides the audience through a lively discussion with Zoltán Sipos from Electrobus Europe (IKARUS), Tamás Móricz from HC Linear, Renata Benešová Burdová from BUSE and Lukáš Hataš from the Czech Association for Electromobility.
Find out why 16 brand-new e-buses are standing idle in a Hungarian depot, how real-time data is used to avoid overcrowding, and what modular battery systems could mean for the long-haul coach industry. Learn how AI-driven systems are not only helping operators manage fleets more efficiently but also opening the door to personalized passenger communication – even in structurally weak regions.
From visionary ideas to regulatory frustration, from concrete EU demands to city-level innovation, the panel shows what’s at stake – and what’s possible.
