Objectifs

The project, structured as an investment loan, is expected to consist of (i) the acquisition of approximately 155 electric buses to substitute old Euro III-V diesel buses, (ii) the adaptation of 4 depots to electromobility and the construction of one new depot adapted to electric buses, and (iii) the implementation of software and IT systems in the Municipality of Hamburg, Germany.

Aspects environnementaux

Manufacturing of rolling stock and of software and IT systems does not fall within the scope of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EC amended by Directive 2014/52/EU; therefore, no Environmental Impact Assessment will be required for this component. For the infrastructure component, the compliance with the requirements of the EU EIA Directive 2011/92/EU amended by Directive 2014/52/EU will be required. The project is expected to have a positive environmental impact by helping the public transport to increase and/or maintain modal share. Furthermore, the project will contribute to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and noise.
