Transitioning to a greener future
In Canada,and around the world,we are committed to the urgent need to stand together in the fight against global warming.With this commitment,Transdev Canada to date has a total fleet of 84 electric school buses.
At Transdev Canada, we have chosen tomake a specific energy transition for school transportation in Quebecdue to thedynamic local ecosystem and the fact that the energy produced locally is mostly hydroelectric, making it among the cleanest in the world. The introduction of these vehicles guarantees a 99% reduction in pollution when comparedwith thermal vehicles. It also demonstrates our commitment to build a greener tomorrow for future generations and today’s passengers of our yellow buses.
Transdev Canada also has The Transdev Academy bus which is self-sufficient when powering the simulator and the heating system, thanks to its 10 solar panels on the roof.
In 2024, we will also oversee the operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of the Hazel McCallion LRT (Hurontario) Light Rail Network. The LRT will reduce the number of people with cars on the road, it will produce nearly zero emissions and in turn will be a more eco-friendly and sustainable option for travel.
Additionally, we have secured the Ontario Line project, a 30-year contract to oversee the operations and maintenance, which will further contribute to reducing the number of cars on the roads and reducing yearly fuel consumption by 7 million litres.
Committed to reducing our carbon footprint together
In Europe, Transdev is leading operator in zero-emission mobility. We are committed to the development of digital, technological and energy solutions, which enable the cleanest form of transport and adapt to changes in user practices.
To date, there is no universal solution forzero emissions. Innovation is required to support territories in theirenergy transition. Whether it is all electric or with hydrogen, we operate the largest fleet of ZE buses in the world. At the end of 2022, this fleet reached 1,800 zero-emission buses in operation or on order. It is thanks to this expertise that we can advise our partners in the choice of greener and cleaner mobility solutions.
The Greater Paris region is adapting its transit network
The Greater Paris region (Île-de-France) is widely recognized for its economic and cultural dynamism and its attraction for tourists. However, it is also faced with the saturation of its road network feeding the urban, suburban and even rural areas. With this in mind, a comfortable, high performance public transport network is an absolute necessity from a strategic viewpoint. Île-de-France Mobilités chose Transdev to help achieve this.
Amsterdam: on the road to zero emission
To meet the demand of the Amsterdam region to operate a zero emission fleet, we opted for the deployment of electric buses. To ensure continuous service, these buses are recharged at the end of the line using a fast charge system and are fully charged at night. An additional benefit? The electricity used comes from renewable energies. With Amsterdam, we are the first zero emission mobility operator in Europe!
Eindhoven deploy electric buses
In the Netherlands, Transdev won the 2016 public tender for the renewal of the Hermès concession in and around Eindhoven. This has made us a major player in the province of Brabant, a region that is engaged in zero-emission transport in a country that is a pioneer in sustainable solutions.
Supporting the transition to electric mobility in Sweden
In both Umeå and Eskilstuna, we are supporting the future development of urban bus transportation. In both of these towns, electric mobility is an important factor when it comes to improving living conditions for inhabitants and is helping drive changes in their energy model.
In Umeå, we acquired 9 rapid recharge buses. The main feature of these buses is the equipment which is adapted to cope with the extreme temperatures in the north of Sweden.
