Sustainable mobility: Green from the heart
Climate friendly mobility for the Greater Hannover area
By2023Hanover's city centre will be completely electric
ÜSTRA is equipping its entire inner-city bus service with electric buses by 2023. Just like the light rail vehicles, which have been running on 100% CO2-free electricity from renewable energy sources since 2015, the new e-buses will also be CO2-neutral. They also save on particulate matter, noise and nitrogen oxide emissions. In this way, ÜSTRA is ensuring a higher quality of life and stronger climate protection in Hanover.
2023hydrogen-driven buses will be on the road
Step by step, regiobus is about to make a complete switch to alternative vehicle drives. From 2022, the first electrically powered buses will be on the road in the regiobus transport area. Hydrogen-powered vehicles are also planned for 2023. The completely climate-neutral construction of the new depot in Ronnenberg represents another part of the sustainability of the ecological tire footprint. In this way, regiobus is permanently reducing local emissions such as pollutants and noise.
