At Busworld 2025 in Brussels, Turkish manufacturer Temsa rolled out something that might not make your pulse race like a supercar—but could redefine the way cities move. Meet the Avenue Neo, a fully electric, nine-meter-long city bus built to haul crowds quietly and cleanly through congested streets.

Despite its modest footprint, the Avenue Neo is anything but small in ambition. The bus can accommodate up to 75 passengers, a number that puts it right at the top of its class. Underneath, it’s built on Temsa’s proven MD9 Electricity platform—a workhorse that’s already logged over five million kilometers across climates ranging from the icy roads of Scandinavia to the sun-baked avenues of the Mediterranean. In other words, this isn’t a prototype still finding its feet; it’s an EV that’s seen some serious mileage.

Powering the Avenue Neo is a 265-kilowatt TM4 electric motor, fed by a liquid-cooled battery pack offering up to 384 kWh of capacity. Temsa claims a driving range of up to 600 kilometers on a single charge—numbers that would make even some passenger EVs blush. And when it’s time to top up, operators can hit a 300 kW DC fast charger and get from empty to full in just 75 minutes. For depots already equipped with pantograph infrastructure, there’s that option too.

Passenger comfort didn’t get lost in the engineering shuffle either. The Avenue Neo comes with a 20 kW electric preheater for those cold mornings and a 33 kW air-conditioning system to keep things cool when the summer hits hard. Together, they make sure the cabin remains a pleasant place—no matter what’s happening outside.

While Temsa might not yet be a household name in the West, the Avenue Neo proves the company is thinking globally. Efficient, versatile, and smartly engineered, it’s a reminder that the future of urban transport isn’t just coming—it’s already parked at the bus stop.
