in Italy is running at 2,600 units. Iveco has 45% of that market, followed by Inbus at 25% and Menarini at 14%. Now Inbus has been dissolved, some of the same manufacturing partners are forming a new group, called Bredabus. Inbus included Breda of Pistoia, De Simon of Udine, Aerfer of Napoli, and S1CCA of Vittorio Veneto.
The privately owned SICCA is also a partner in Bredabus but the private De Simon group is not. The major partners, Breda railway and Sofer, are members of the Aviofer sub-holding of the Finanziaria Ernesto Breda, which is part of the stateowned Brim group. It was Breda railway which made the Dual Bus for Seattle.
