FlixBus recently introduced the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) coaches in Italy, showcased in Rimini, at Irizar's local headquarters. These four Scania-Irizar i6S models are capable of running on bio-LNG and are intended to connect 30 cities across Italy, particularly in the southern region. Additionally, Flix is engaged in the HyFleet research project with partners Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems and ZF, aiming to roll out hydrogen coaches across the European network by 2024. While the focus is on hydrogen for the future, the newly unveiled LNG coaches in Rimini feature a 14-meter, three-axle design with a capacity of 54 passengers. These coaches come with innovative features such as digital rear-view mirrors, advanced air conditioners, and increased ergonomic design to enhance passenger comfort and safety. The collaboration between FlixBus, Scania, and Irizar aims to promote sustainable travel options and encourage the adoption of eco-friendly transportation methods in Italy. The partners emphasize the importance of environmental responsibility and the need for incentives and support from institutions to facilitate the transition to sustainable fleets and infrastructure.
