Key Ideas
  • Irizar has delivered seven 12-metre electric buses to Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) for use in Barcelona, enhancing the city's commitment to electromobility.
  • TMB, a pioneer in electromobility, operates a fleet of 196 battery-electric buses and around 46 hydrogen buses with fuel cells, contributing to over 25% of the bus fleet being emission-free.
  • TMB has initiated a tender for 19 electric articulated buses and has also secured the purchase of 18 electric double-decker vehicles from UNVI and five electric minibuses from Yutong, further expanding their zero-emission fleet.
  • Additionally, TMB is testing an articulated fuel cell bus from Daimler Buses, the eCitaro G fuel cell, which combines battery power with a hydrogen fuel cell as a range extender, showcasing the city's innovative approach towards sustainable transport solutions.
Irizar e-mobility has delivered seven 12-metre electric buses to Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB), marking a significant step in Barcelona's transition towards electromobility. These buses are equipped with a 185 kW electric drive and are expected to offer a range of up to 350 kilometers, contributing to the city's efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality. TMB, known for its pioneering role in electromobility, currently operates a fleet of 196 battery-electric buses and approximately 46 hydrogen buses with fuel cells, making a remarkable portion of the bus fleet emission-free. In line with its commitment to sustainability, TMB has launched a tender for 19 electric articulated buses, expanding its zero-emission fleet. Additionally, TMB has finalized agreements for the purchase of 18 electric double-decker vehicles from UNVI and five electric minibuses from Yutong, further diversifying its green transport options. Furthermore, TMB is testing an articulated fuel cell bus, the eCitaro G fuel cell from Daimler Buses, which utilizes both battery power and a hydrogen fuel cell as a range extender, showcasing Barcelona's innovative approach to sustainable public transport solutions. The city's focus on increasing the number of zero-emission vehicles in its fleet emphasizes its dedication to reducing environmental impact and improving the overall quality of public transportation within Barcelona.
