The Bavarian government in Germany has released its annual report on funding for alternatively powered buses, detailing the support provided for climate-friendly buses and depot electrification. With subsidies amounting to millions, Bavaria has helped finance 500 climate buses, including 220 electric buses, in the past year. Additionally, the government has allocated funds for the electrification of depots, focusing on the construction of charging infrastructure to support the transition to electromobility. Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter highlights that Bavaria has not only met but exceeded its 2024 funding target for climate buses, currently subsidizing over 500 units annually. The state aims to involve all transport companies in adopting different drive systems, offering tailored solutions for rural areas where challenges with electric buses exist. Minister President Markus Söder has announced plans to subsidize 2,000 electric buses and charging infrastructure by 2028. Subsidy rates in Bavaria vary based on vehicle length and drive system, with electric and fuel cell buses qualifying for significant financial support. The government's proactive approach in enhancing public transport sustainability and infrastructure shows a positive sentiment towards promoting alternative propulsion methods in the region.
