The Switch e1 is an electric city bus that Switch Mobility designed for the European market. It was first shown in 2022 and presented again in March 2025 as the company returned its attention to Europe after pausing plans for a production facility in Spain. The bus is built with a lightweight monocoque structure and in-wheel motors, and it has a flat gangway running the full length of the vehicle with a triple-door layout at front, centre and rear. It can carry up to 93 passengers including standing passengers. Trade coverage at the 2025 relaunch noted that it was unclear whether the new model shared the specifications of the 2022 one, and that Switch planned to invest a further 10 to 15 million dollars in the e1 platform in Europe. It is a sibling of the Indian market Switch EiV 12 and sits in the Switch range that grew out of the Optare bus business.
