Ebusco will deliver 2020 electric buses to Frankfurt at the end of 13 with the Transdev Group in Germany. As of late 2020, 13 brand new electric Ebusco 2.2 buses in Frankfurt will be brought into service at Transdev Rhein-Main GmbH under the Alpina brand, which will replace the current diesel buses. The Transdev Group is the largest private mobility provider in Germany.
Ebusco is particularly proud to be a partner of Transdev Germany to contribute to the improvement of air quality. The Ebusco electric buses have no emissions such as NOx, CO2 or particulate matter. Transdev chose Ebusco because of the wide range of Ebusco buses without having to load in between. This reduces the total operating costs due to charging infrastructure and the reduction of the number of times a bus has to be charged.
about the electric buses
These 13 buses are the 12 meter long Ebusco 2.2 low floor buses. These buses have already proven their success in various German cities (including in Munich, Wartburg and on the island of Borkum) and in Dutch cities (such as in Groningen, Dordrecht and Utrecht). At the end of 2020, 156 more will be running in the Dutch cities of Haarlem and Amsterdam, operated by Transdev Netherlands.
the clean air ambitions of the city of Frankfurt
The city of Frankfurt am Main aims to have all bus traffic running with alternative driving types by 2030. Transdev Rhein-Main GmbH, with the Alpina brand, will operate the A and G line bundles. These buses will be the electric Ebusco 2.2 buses. Passengers in Frankfurt am Main will experience the comfort of modern electric buses for the first time. The operation will start in December 2020.
“With our European experience in the field of e-mobility, we actively support local authorities in the turnaround in traffic, while at the same time contributing to improving air quality.” Henrik Behrens, Managing Director Bus of the Transdev Group in Germany
