Irisbus – The company

The facts and figures speak for Irisbus.

With a market share of almost 27 per cent, Irisbus is one of the two market leaders in the European market for buses over 3.5 t. In the city and intercity bus segment, Irisbus is the European market leader. We are also present in the North American and Australian markets.

Irisbus was formed by the merger of the internationally active Renault and Iveco groups. Irisbus is the new name for the engineering, design and economy of the Renault, Iveco, Heuliez, Karosa and Ikarus “brands”.

The dolphin, the Irisbus logo, is a new symbol of tradition and progress – for coaches, intercity, city and minibuses, and for new, pioneering urban transit systems.

As the first European bus brand, Irisbus sets standards worldwide – and is an innovative, reliable and ever-present partner for its customers.
