Marcopolo Acquires 40% of Reborn, Boosting Chile’s Electric Mobility Industry

Chile’s electric mobility industry is experiencing a historic milestone. Reborn, the country’s first electric bus manufacturer, founded in 2016, has partnered with Marcopolo, one of the world’s largest bus manufacturers. Through the acquisition of a 40% stake in Reborn Electric Motors, the alliance aims to accelerate clean technology development and expand internationally, with a strong focus on Chile and Brazil.

A Strategic Alliance for Clean Technology

Reborn has become a key player in the region by developing 100% electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered buses. Initially focused on serving the mining sector, the company is now preparing to diversify its portfolio to cover new passenger transport segments.

With Marcopolo joining as a strategic partner, the goal is clear: boost innovation in sustainable transportation while opening new opportunities for regional and global growth.

Epysa Buses Celebrates the Milestone

For Epysa Buses, this step represents both pride and opportunity. The company currently markets fully electric models such as the Senior Reborn Heavy Duty Minero and the Senior Reborn Turismo, which are tangible examples of how electromobility is transforming Chile’s transportation industry.

“The fact that a world leader in bus manufacturing has decided to invest and become a strategic partner of a Chilean company is proof that we are now on the global map for new technology development. It is a strong validation of trust in the progress of sustainable mobility, and being part of this fills us with pride,” said José Antonio Guarachi, Commercial Manager of Epysa Buses.

Chile as a Leader in Sustainable Transport

This partnership not only strengthens Reborn’s trajectory but also positions Chile as a leader in sustainable transportation across Latin America. With Marcopolo’s backing, the country emerges as a strategic destination for global players seeking innovation and long-term growth in clean technologies.

Epysa Buses, meanwhile, continues to reinforce its commitment to sustainability, supporting clients in the transition toward more efficient and environmentally friendly transport solutions.
