IT BROKE A SALES RECORD IN EUROPEAN MARKETS IN 2025

With its strong performance last year, TEMSA achieved the highest sales figures in its history in key markets such as France, England, Ireland, Greece and Belgium, and carried its success in the intercity bus segment to the midibus market. The renewed Prestige, which TEMSA introduced to the market in 2025, reinforced its segment leadership by reaching a share of over 30 percent in the European midibus market, according to the first results of 2026, with the strong demand it received.

WE ARE RESWRITTING THE RULES OF THE GAME IN THE MIDI SEGMENT

Making evaluations within the scope of FIAA 2026, TEMSA CEO Evren Güzel said, "We bring our strong engineering and production competence together with the developing mobility needs of Europe. Today, our vehicles on the roads in 70 countries and our field experience exceeding 10 billion kilometers are one of the strongest indicators of this understanding. Spain constitutes an important part of our growth in Europe. We consider the experience we have gained here as an important advantage that will support our growth in neighboring markets. In line with this understanding, we have increased our total sales volume in Europe to the pre-pandemic period." "We are rewriting the rules of the game in the midi segment with the renewed Prestige we launched last year. According to the first results of 2026, we are the leader in Europe with a market share exceeding 30%. We are strengthening this success in the midibus segment, which is the fundamental dynamic of our growth, by being among the top 10 players in the coach market in both Europe and Spain."

ELECTRIFICATION TRANSFORMATION AFFECTS MARKET DYNAMICS

Referring to the electrification transformation in Europe, Güzel said, "While the urban bus market grew by 50% in the first half of 2026, more than 60% of the newly registered urban buses became electric. This transformation marks the beginning of a new era for bus manufacturers and public transport operators. It is no longer possible to talk about a single customer expectation in the region. Each country differs in terms of regulations, infrastructure, usage habits and the progress of electrification. As TEMSA, we use this diversity in product and technology." "We focus on meeting our needs with our capabilities. Thus, instead of applying the same formula to every market, we try to develop solutions that suit the specific needs of the markets," he said.
