The long-term goal is CO2-neutral operation.\u00a0The battery of the electric bus is recharged at the final stop Weiermatt in K\u00f6niz after each journey at a fast charging station. For this purpose, the buses use the existing, scheduled time of stay. Thanks to many short partial &#8220;refuelling&#8221;, the electric bus can travel on line 17 all day long. In the depot, the battery is fully recharged overnight.<\/p>\n<h2>Two electric axles for the lighTram<\/h2>\n<p>The lighTrams produced by the Swiss company Hess.
