"Over the last year, our committee set out to learn about asset management and the state of one of our most important assets, which is our streets and our roads. We learned that our streets are riddled with potholes, and many of the streets are failing. The condition has worsened over the last five years. We learned that if we do not act now to address the degradation of our streets, it will continue to worsen."
If the project is confirmed at the end of the procedure, the group could fully exit the long-distance services market starting from January 4, 2027. The company, which relies heavily on regional subcontractors to operate its routes, would leave behind many uncertainties regarding the future of routes, drivers, and the vehicles dedicated to this activity.
The larger share of the order consists of 200 Scania intercity buses equipped with CNG fuel systems designed for extended range, allocated to services within the Paris region.
Seri Industrial reported a consolidated net profit of €13.629 million for 2025, with an adjusted net profit of €15.359 million, marking an increase of €18.575 million compared to 2024.
The real problem is infrastructure, not vehicle safety. Roadways are open systems with infinite variables—weather, pedestrians, distracted drivers, and aging infrastructure. Communication between vehicles is minimal, and infrastructure is largely silent—and in that gap lies the potential for deadly collisions.
The new C127 EV adopts a modular battery configuration based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology supplied by CATL, delivering a total installed capacity of 497 kWh, an increase from the previous 462 kWh.
Intercity bus transport in Europe is characterized by a fragmented operator landscape, including a high number of small and medium-sized companies, alongside less standardized operational patterns and frequent dual-use vehicle profiles.
It's tempting to frame autonomous driving as a single leap. In public transport, adoption tends to be incremental - because the system is built for reliability, and new capabilities have to fit into daily operations without disrupting service. That is why a practical strategy is evolution, not revolution: introduce autonomy in a defined domain, learn safely in real operations, and expand capability step-by-step.
Being named to the Washington State DES contract is a significant milestone for ENC and a testament to the strength of our product portfolio. This contract gives transit agencies across the region a streamlined path to American-made, Altoona-tested heavy-duty buses in every major propulsion category.
