This latest generation vehicle is designed to give maximum efficiency for operators and the best experience for passengers. And it emphasizes sustainability, for the good of the whole planet. We’ve optimised the design with cutting edge aerodynamics. We’ve reduce fuel consumption and emissions. And, of course, we’re also using the most advanced technology with maximum connectivity, safety and comfort.
At the beginning of this extremely exciting project, our goal was to design the most efficient coach in Irizar’s history and the result has been the Irizar i6S Efficient.

Weight is down to 950 kg and the aerodynamic coefficient is 30% lower
Aerodynamic coefficient improved by 30%
Excellent aerodynamic performance is the key to this new generation of coaches. Part of the front of the vehicle and roof has been modified. The curvature of the windscreen and the other front windows have also been reworked to reduce air resistance as much as possible.
Furthermore, the Irizar i6S Efficient has the option to replace the rear view mirrors with digital vision cameras with the two-fold goal of providing wide-angle vision in any weather conditions. These modifications provide improvements in the driver’s direct and indirect field of vision.
Weight reduction up to 950 kg
Another major challenge was reducing weight. The weight of every component was analysed and reduced. And the weight of the vehicle has been redistributed with the goal of improving weight distribution.
High strength steel and lighter composite materials were used instead of traditional structural materials.
Maximum level of comfort in the travel experience
Thanks to those innovations we’ve been able to increase the space for passengers to improve ergonomics and comfort. We’ve also reduced noise and vibrations to the minimum. The cockpit has likewise been redesigned to be more comfortable and ergonomic and have a larger field of vision. The new line of Hispacold climate control devices is more compact, efficient and lighter.
That lets us make the travelling experience in this new Irizar as comfortable as possible.
Fatigue and durability testing was done on it at one of the most prestigious research institutions in the world to ensure its reliability and quality.
Exhaustive aerodynamic studies and tests using simulators and measurements in real circuits have shown an exceptional 30% improvement in the aerodynamic coefficient and a reduction of up to 13% in consumption and emissions. Those demanding tests are proof of the solutions that make the i6S efficient a market leader in consumption and sustainability.
A smart coach
Open
› Smart and connected
The new multiplexed architecture and communications protocol allows real-time self diagnosis of the coach. Furthermore, Irizar technology supports Preventive Maintenance via online monitoring and remote diagnostics.
› Safety
The i6s efficient has the most advanced active safety systems for preventing accidents. In addition, the vehicle has a reinforced structure that improves its response to torsion, flexing and head-on collisions, also improving its passive safety.
› Thinking of the driver
We’ve increased and improved the driver’s field of vision. In addition, the digital camera system gives a panoramic view in all conditions and situations, such as at night or in the rain.
› Unlimited accessibility
Having the electronics in the central console, the accessibility of the controls and the virtual dashboard instruments allow drivers to interact with the vehicle and quickly obtain all the information they need and manage the entertainment and comfort system.
We want your only concern to be your business. We’ll take care of the rest.
As always at Irizar, we adapt to the specific demands of each market and client. And we offer the possibility to personalise your vehicle with endless configurations for either right or left hand driving.
The i6s efficient is prepared for diesel, biodiesel, natural gas, biogas and it’s designed to be adapted to future zero-emissions models.
Our vast sales and after-sales network provides solutions and personalised service, in addition to repair and maintenance, immediate availability of spares and fleet management.
