Daimler Buses France is a key player in the French public transport vehicle market, holding a 21.3% market share in the over 8-tonne GVW segment in 2023. The company employs over 1230 people.

Founded in 1981 by Kässbohrer, the Meuse factory integrated the EvoBus France company and consequently the Daimler group in 1995, during the merger of Kässbohrer by Mercedes-Benz. With nearly 45 years of expertise in buses and coaches, the Ligny-en-Barrois plant is perfectly integrated into the Daimler Truck group. The manufacturer's rules and requirements in terms of quality and environmental respect make this site an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified center of excellence. A recognition of French know-how! Primarily dedicated to Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses, the Ligny-en-Barrois site offers versatility, allowing it to constantly adapt to market needs and changes. In July 2023, EvoBus France was renamed Daimler Buses France. *excluding temporary and contract workers (data as of December 2023)
