The ceremonial handover of the bus took place with the participation of local authorities. On December 22, 2025, the bus started the T5 route of the IziLo Mobilités network, connecting Lorient, Lanester, Hennebont, and Inzinzac-Lochrist. In 2026, Iveco Bus plans to deliver 10 more such vehicles. Later, the total number of hydrogen buses in the fleet will reach 19.

The energy system works in conjunction with a traction battery with a capacity of 69 kWh, developed by FPT Industrial. According to the manufacturer, the bus's range reaches 450 km, and hydrogen consumption is 15-20% lower than the market average. The cabin capacity is up to 110 passengers.

According to him, hydrogen technology combines autonomy, comfort, and energy efficiency.
