Following the success of ZEB 2023, ZEB 2025 will return to Brussels alongside the prestigious Busworld Europe Exhibition, which is the largest bus and coach B2B event in the world. ZEB has seen impressive growth, with the 2023 edition attracting a record of 430 attendees amid more than 40,000 visitors to Busworld. As the zero emission bus sector continues to expand, ZEB 2025 promises even greater opportunities for networking, collaboration and showcasing the latest innovations in clean transport solutions.
Organized by ERM and Busworld Foundation, the ZEB conference will once again be held for two and a half days at Brussels Expo, and some new additions are being implemented based on feedback from ZEB 2023.
More Technical Content Than Ever Before
12 (and counting!) breakout and plenary sessions will open discussions on various topics such as real-world performance of battery electric and fuel cell buses, depot energy management, charging opportunities and grid challenges, technology and telematics, business model innovations and evolution of OPEX, market trends and policy support and more.
Insight from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, Sustainable Bus, Transdev, RATP, EMT Madrid, Ruter, Eurocities, and the European Passenger Transport Operators association will make this 6th edition outstanding, and ZEB 2025 will be the biggest European ZEB conference yet.
