• RVSOE acquires 20 Setra inter-city buses
• Moveas GmbH updates its fleet with 14 Setra buses
• Five S 418 LE business vehicles for Regiobus Mittelsachsen

Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Pirna. Regionalverkehr Schweiz-Osterzgebirge GmbH (RVSOE), Moveas GmbH and Regiobus Mittelsachsen GmbH, three major regional providers in Saxony and Thuringia are now relying on the advantages of the Setra Low Entry LE business vehicles.

At Setra's customer center in Neu-Ulm, RVSOE took over twelve

S 415 LE business and eight three-axle S 418 LE business vehicles – and now has a total of 54 Setra vehicles in operation. The fully air-conditioned, double-glazed inter-city buses will be used throughout the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Ostererzgebirge and in parts of the state capital of Dresden.

RVSOE was established in 2019 through the merger of Oberelbische Verkehrsgesellschaft Pirna-Sebnitz mbH and Regionalverkehr Dresden GmbH. Today, with 240 vehicles, it is the largest company for passenger transportation in the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. In April, the company, headquartered in Pirna, took over twelve additional S 415 LE business vehicles.

Moveas acquires its 55th Setra

Arnstadt. Moveas GmbH in Arnstadt has updated its fleet with 14 Setra Low Entry vehicles, including its 55th Setra. The S 415 LE business inter-city buses are used on local public transport routes throughout the Ilm district, which encompasses the metropolitan areas of the cities of Arnstadt and Ilmenau.

Two of the buses have space for 45 passengers, while twelve vehicles in the 39-seater variant have enough space for wheelchairs, strollers and bicycles.

Moveas GmbH, formerly RBA Regionalbus Arnstadt, is the largest private company for local road-based public transportation in Thuringia. Founded in 1999, the family business has been a partner of Setra since then.

In addition to its headquarters in Arnstadt, Moveas GmbH has additional branch offices in Hildburghausen, Kronach, Niesky, Weißwasser and Görlitz.

Five Setras for Regiobus Mittelsachsen

Mittweida. Regiobus Mittelsachsen GmbH is expanding its fleet with five Setra Low Entry vehicles. Each S 418 LE business model is equipped with 55 seats. The Mittweida-based company opted for the 14.6 meter long three-axle vehicles in order to be able to provide more seating capacity, especially for schoolchildren.

The Setra buses – equipped with Cornering Assist, driver protection screens and video surveillance – are also the first vehicles in the federal state of Saxony to be equipped with a third exit. The new rear-end doors ensure unhindered passenger flow.

With the new inter-city buses, the Saxon company now operates 235 vehicles on regional routes. More than 460 employees work at its five depots.

Regiobus Mittelsachsen GmbH, which was founded ten years ago from the merger of three local transportation companies, carries over 13 million passengers annually.
