The EvoBus GmbH , headquartered in Stuttgart is a 100 percent subsidiary of Daimler AG . It develops and produces buses (or chassis for them as the basis for third-party bodies from bodywork companies ) and offers services for everything to do with buses. It was founded in 1995 as a merger of the bus divisions of Daimler-Benz and the Kässbohrer vehicle works it took over . The company has six bus factories and 18 sales companies in Europe.

The buses are produced under the brand names Mercedes-Benz and Setra . Services for both brands are offered under the name Omniplus. In 2016, Daimler Buses sold 26,226 buses worldwide.

EvoBus has been experimenting with hydrogen drives for some time , since 2009 with diesel-electric hybrid buses and with fuel-cell hybrid buses for city buses. Series production of fully electrically powered Citaro city buses is due to start at the end of 2018 .

In spring 2012, the company announced that it would cut a total of 600 jobs in Mannheim  ⊙ and Neu-Ulm ⊙ . However, this should take place without any redundancies . The remaining jobs should be [out of date] secure until at least 2018 .  

The company's headquarters were relocated from Kirchheim unter Teck to Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt on May 12, 2016 .
