"The insolvency filing submitted by Arthur Bus marks the formal collapse of the company's operations and brings an immediate stop to its role as supplier of hydrogen buses for MPK Lublin, being this the first consistent order achieved by the company (it was signed in May 2025). According to Polish trade media transport-publiczny.pl (quoting the German outlet Busplaner, also covered via trade agency electrive),"
"Co-founder and CEO Philipp Glonner appears to have left the company in October 2025, while Martin Lischka, hired in March 2025 (from Quantron, another ailing company that in mid-2025 has been saved from insolvency by its founder and now is part of a broader strategic repositioning by the Haller group), is no longer listed with Arthur Bus as of December and has been appointed as Head of sales and marketing in Benteler's subsidiary Holon in January 2026."
"Arthur Bus, belonging to the German entity Arthur Bus GmbH based in Munich, began operations in Lublin in 2021, establishing production facilities in the former FSC industrial area and focusing on hydrogen fuel cell buses. At its peak, the company employed around 60 people, with staffing levels falling to approximately 40 in the months preceding the insolvency filing."
Arthur Bus filed for insolvency with the District Court Lublin-Wschód, halting hydrogen bus manufacturing in Lublin and stopping supply to MPK Lublin. The MPK Lublin order was signed in May 2025. Co-founder and CEO Philipp Glonner left in October 2025. Martin Lischka, hired in March 2025 from Quantron, was no longer listed with Arthur Bus as of December and joined Holon in January 2026 as Head of Sales and Marketing. Financial disclosures show a net loss of about PLN 6.6 million in 2023 and losses exceeding PLN 19 million in 2024. Operations began in 2021 in the former FSC industrial area; production ceased before the court submission and staff dropped from about 60 to 40.
