HESS France is the official representation of HESS, a Swiss company with over 140 years of experience in public transport and a leading provider of high-capacity electric buses. With manufacturing sites in Switzerland and Portugal as well as international licence partners, HESS produces over 2,500 electric buses a year for global use.
In France, HESS France combines the global engineering and systems expertise of HESS with local market knowledge and operational experience. Transport operators benefit from having a reliable local contact for the design and operation of lighTram® electric buses and comprehensive zero-emission mobility solutions.
HESS is more than a bus manufacturer. As a full-service systems provider, we develop and implement electric bus systems from a single source energy charging and infrastructure concepts in addition to providing servicing and replacement parts for lighTram®, Exqui.City electric buses and electric trolley bus systems based on Kiepe technology.
We supply original replacement parts for buses and trolley buses not only from HESS, but also from acquired brands (such as Van Hool’s ExquiCity and Kiepe products). We are your reliable partner for the procurement of critical components and guarantee rapid delivery times and product compatibility.
As the French branch of HESS AG, we provide expert support and advice for state-of-the-art vehicles. We specialise in emission-free solutions for public transport and bring Swiss technological excellence to the French market.
We provide specialised support for electrical and traction systems. Our technical team helps customers in resolving complex faults, optimising vehicle life cycles and minimising downtimes.
We provide a comprehensive range of after-sales services, from warranty claims to bespoke maintenance plans and function as the main interface between the company’s Swiss headquarters and local transport operators in France.
We support the modernisation of existing fleets through the integration of new technologies and improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of vehicles currently in service.
