Berlin's new e-buses: clean, innovative and barrier-free!
Berlin traffic under power: On Monday, the BVG put the first of a total of 50 new Urbino 18 Electrics electrical busts into operation. These modern vehicles are equipped to design the streets of the capital not only more environmentally friendly, but also barrier -free. It is planned that the new bus will initially run on line 300, while the other 49 buses will follow by mid-2025, as reported.
innovative technology for more accessibility
The special thing about the Urbino 18 Electrics is the innovative door catch signal, which makes it easier to find the visually impaired passengers to find the entry doors. Each vehicle offers space for around 100 passengers and has a range of over 200 kilometers. The buses can be charged at their stops at 36 end stops, such as Busnetz , via special loading points. In addition, environmentally friendly operation is documented by a digital battery pass that provides all relevant information about the battery-from its composition to the environmental impact. This facilitates recycling at the end of the battery's life cycle.
The financing of the electric busts is partially via funding from the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport. The BVG only bears the costs for comparable diesel buses; The additional costs incurred are covered by the state of Berlin. CEO Henrik Falk emphasizes that these new vehicles not only benefit from the climate, but also improve the stability of bus traffic. These measures are part of a broader initiative to promote sustainable means of transport in the city.
