Irizar Buses & Coaches

Irizar Buses & Coaches

Founded in Spain in 1889, Irizar has become one of Europe's most established coach manufacturers, combining distinctive design with a broad range of passenger vehicles. Its British range centres on four integral coaches, all powered by DAF diesel engines, covering everything from high-capacity school and interurban transport to luxury touring and executive travel. The company also has a growing presence in electric public transport through its ie bus and tram-styled ie tram. With official UK sales and aftersales support, Irizar offers both conventional touring coaches and purpose-built zero-emission city buses, including vehicles already operating in London.



Irizar i4 Integral

The i4 is Irizar's most practical high-capacity coach, designed for school contracts, interurban services, rail replacement and general private hire. Its relatively straightforward interior allows operators to maximise seating without sacrificing the substantial luggage accommodation and comfort expected of a modern coach. The latest lightweight version uses a DAF diesel engine and ZF automatic transmission, with a redesigned structure helping reduce weight and fuel consumption. British operators can specify conventional 2+2 seating or higher-capacity 3+2 school layouts, with as many as 80 seats offered in selected specifications. PSVAR-compatible wheelchair access makes the i4 particularly versatile for operators working across different passenger contracts.

Irizar i6S Efficient

The i6S Efficient introduces improved aerodynamics, reduced weight and modern safety technology to Irizar's premium touring-coach range. Compared with its predecessor, Irizar claims fuel consumption and emissions can be reduced by up to 13%, helped by substantial weight savings and a more streamlined body. Digital camera mirrors are available in place of conventional exterior mirrors, further reducing aerodynamic drag. British operators can specify everything from high-capacity scheduled-service layouts to spacious luxury touring interiors, with DAF engines and ZF transmissions providing the mechanical foundations. The i6S Efficient is particularly popular for long-distance express services, private hire and continental touring, with major new UK deliveries continuing in 2026.

Irizar ie bus

The ie bus is Irizar's purpose-built battery-electric city bus, developed independently of its diesel touring-coach platforms. Its low-floor body, wide entrances and flexible passenger accommodation make it suitable for intensive urban and regional services, while different lengths allow operators to match the vehicle to route requirements. The range extends from compact rigid buses to larger articulated versions, with configurable lithium-ion batteries and depot or pantograph charging systems. Irizar develops much of the electric drivetrain and energy-management technology within its own group, helping integrate the vehicle with its charging infrastructure. The ie bus is listed by Irizar UK and provides a zero-tailpipe-emission alternative to conventional urban single-deckers.

Irizar ie tram

The ie tram is one of the most distinctive electric buses available to British operators, combining the appearance of a modern tram with the flexibility of a conventional road vehicle. Its streamlined body, large windows and low-floor interior are designed to make urban travel more appealing, while wide passenger entrances reduce boarding times on busy routes. Twenty right-hand-drive, 12-metre examples entered service with Go-Ahead London on route 358, using rapid pantograph charging at route termini to support long daily operating schedules. The wider ie tram family also includes articulated versions for higher-capacity services. Unlike a conventional tram, the ie tram requires no rails, allowing operators to introduce tram-style transport on existing roads.
