EvoBus GmbH is a leading bus manufacturer and is integrated into the DaimlerChrysler Group. Setra is also a member of the EvoBus GmbH.

In 1995, Mercedes-Benz and Setra, two pioneers in the bus and coach business, have amalgamated under the umbrella of EvoBus. Mercedes-Benz brought in more than 100 years of experience in the bus and coach industry, starting with the invention of the ombibus by Carl Benz in 1895 in Mannheim.

EvoBus is headquartered in Stuttgart in Germany, with its largest bus factory in Mannheim in Germany. Licensed buses are also manufactured in Turkey. The city buses, e.g. the Citaro, are completely manufactured in Mannheim.

The chassis for coaches - meaning the frame plus the "running gear" like engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension - are produced in Mannheim. A body (sometimes referred to as "coachwork"), is built on the chassis to complete the coaches in Ulm/Neu-Ulm, where the final assembly takes place. Other factories of EvoBus are in Ligny-en-Barrois in France and in Sámano in Spain.

Its wide-ranging product portfolio for worldwide customers include:

• Bus-specific service range from insurance and consulting to concepts for financing and the procurement of original parts and accessories.

• Sales network for new and used vehicles covering all of Europe,

• Service network of more than 500 bus stations

On the European bus and coach market EvoBus has become the leading full-line supplier and is also present on the global market.

In 2004, EvoBus had a workforce of 10,604 employees. (kilde: Wikipedia)
