Wiener Linien announces it is expanding its zero-emission bus offer with the deployment of ten CaetanoBus H2.City Gold vehicles on Line 39A, following the introduction of battery-hydrogen buses in the city centre. The tender was awarded back in early 2024. Green hydrogen is supplied by Wien Energie, produced from renewable electricity at the Smart Campus of Wiener Netze in Simmering, enabling fully emission-free operation, the operator points out.
This investment aims to develop the skills of Go-Ahead's 900 engineers across the UK & Ireland, part of a commitment to a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035.
By 2030, zero-emission buses and coaches in Europe could reach 108,000, forecasted by the European Commission and analysis partners, indicating strong growth in electric vehicle adoption.
The Solaris Trollino 18 trolleybus, with a capacity of 133 passengers, has entered service in Genoa, marking a significant milestone in the city's green transportation efforts.
