COBUS Industries

COBUS Industries makes airport buses in Germany. It is part of the Salvador Caetano Group, and Daimler Truck AG is a minority shareholder. The company says it is a global market leader in airport mobility and that its buses are made in Europe.

The range includes diesel and electric apron buses. The diesel models are the COBUS 3000, COBUS 2700 and COBUS 2700S. The electric versions are the e.COBUS 3000, e.COBUS 2700 and e.COBUS 2700S. They are listed with capacities of 110, 96 and 77 people. The company also offers the COBUS Hydra and the COBUS Vega.

The company points to several benefits for airports and handling firms. These include efficient fleet management, short turnarounds, flexible payment options and more mobility on the apron. It says its vehicles can last for more than 25 years.

COBUS Business Solutions offers financing through a collaboration with DLL, a specialist finance provider. This lets buyers get the equipment they need without using their own capital. The COBUS Service Team offers inspection, training and repair, and customers book slots by email. The company also supports customers who need spare parts from more than 12,000 km away.

COBUS takes back used buses from its customers. It overhauls each one to its quality standards and sells it as a second-hand bus at a fair price. It also runs COBUS Refit and COBUS e.START programs.

The company shares news from airport events. A COBUS representative spoke at the Emirates Group Sustainability Conference in Dubai about zero-emission ground operations, where hydrogen was named a key driver for airport operations in Dubai. COBUS also took part in GSE Expo Europe in Lisbon. It has a customer service portal and offers paper models of the COBUS 3000 and 2700S to download.
