Tremonia Mobility

What Tremonia Mobility does

Tremonia Mobility GmbH is a Dortmund-based premium minibus manufacturer that produces vehicles for public transport (ÖPNV), shuttle services, and tour/travel bus operators. The company traces its origins to the 1998 EvoBus entry into minibuses and was formally incorporated as Mercedes-Benz Minibus GmbH in 2004; it became independent in 2022 through a 100% acquisition and now operates under the Tremonia Mobility name while continuing to manufacture on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform. Its four product series are: City ELECTRIC (City 45 and City 75, electric models for urban public transport), Sprinter City (35/45/75, diesel and electric variants for conventional urban routes), Sprinter Transfer (35/45, for interurban and shuttle use), and Sprinter Mobility 23 (wheelchair-accessible specialized transport drivable with a Class B license). Vehicle capacity ranges from 4 to 38 passengers, with customizable seating, accessibility, climate, and powertrain configurations produced at the flagship Dortmund facility.

The business model is predominantly build-to-order hardware sales of premium minibuses, with revenue complemented by after-sales services via a certified partner network spanning 6 continents and leasing/financing facilitated through a Santander partnership. Pricing is quote-based through direct enterprise consultation rather than publicly listed; sales are executed through a regional partner channel (Germany divided into North/East/South/West, plus dedicated European country partners and Australia) alongside direct field sales to municipal transport operators, shuttle providers, and travel bus companies. Production volume exceeds 30,000 cumulative units and annual capacity is 1,000+ vehicles, distributed across 30+ countries.

Customer concentration is spread across named municipal and enterprise operators including Keolis, Transdev (VREM), VRM (Rhein-Mosel), MVVG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and SWT Tübingen, plus smaller transport companies such as Reuter, Bohr and Scherer. Marketing combines industry trade shows (bus2bus, ADAC Mobility Pitch), social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), the company website, and a referral program (Tippgeberprogramm). The company is privately held with no institutional investors disclosed, employs 251–500 staff including ~18 apprentices, and reports two Managing Directors (Marius Banholzer and Mike Schmidt) alongside a CEO designation (Lukas Krahé) referenced in leadership data.
