In December 2024, TUVISA<\/strong>, the public transport company in Vitoria-Gasteiz <\/strong>(north of Spain), took delivery of ten new zero-emission buses from Irizar<\/strong>. This includes six 18-meter articulated buses and four 12-meter articulated buses, which are now housed at the city\u2019s Electromobility Centre. The buses, which began arriving at a rate of one per week, are already in service on Line 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first fleet of Irizar electric buses started operation in the city back in 2020<\/a>, following an order achieved in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These new buses are part of a broader effort to modernize TUVISA\u2019s fleet. The average age of the fleet has dropped from 12.79 years in 2023 to 11.44 years, with a total of 94 vehicles in operation. Charging of e-buses is done at night in the depots on Avenida del Zadorra. They also have the possibility of fast charging via pantograph if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buses are designed for accessibility, with space for wheelchairs, automatic and manual ramps, and passenger-friendly features like synoptic screens and intelligent driving assistance. They also contribute to quieter, cleaner urban transport, reducing both air and noise pollution. 128 passengers <\/strong>can be welcomed on board of the 18-meter vehicles, 80 in the 12-meter units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delivery comes at a time of strong growth for TUVISA. As of November 2024, the company had already exceeded 16.2 million journeys, on track to break its all-time record with more than 17.5 million passengers by year\u2019s end. This growth is partly attributed to the successful introduction of electric buses, which have been widely used by local commuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since 2017 we have purchased 43 new buses, starting with the ten articulated buses that arrived that year, another five hybrids in 2018, five more hybrids in 2019, 13 electric for the EIB between 2021 and 2022 and now 10 more electric. Our commitment to the modernisation and decarbonisation of the fleet is undeniable and cannot stop here”, says TUVISA president Izaskun Reyes<\/strong>, recalling that the draft budget for next year envisages the purchase of 10 more buses <\/strong>through commitment appropriations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
