Paris public transport operator RATP puts 1,000th electric bus into serviceEnceladus skrev: ↑torsdag 21 november 2024 6:03 Batteries are included! New era for electric buses in London as 'tram bus' is finally unveiled
London vill förstås inte vara sämre! Ryska medier uppger dock att Moskva har över 2 100 elbussar på 169 linjer. Därmed är London enbart störst i Västeuropa.London Standard skrev:At 15 miles, the 358 route is one of the longest in London. The buses are charged using a train-style pantograph connection to their roof.

London already has the largest zero emission bus fleet in western Europe, with more than 1,700 buses on more than 70 routes powered by batteries or other “green” technologies such as hydrogen.
London mayor Sadiq Khan wants all 9,000 buses in the Transport for London fleet to be zero emission by 2030 but does not have the funding required to bring this forward from the more likely date of 2034.
Europa har fyra megastäder: London, Paris, Moskva och Istanbul. Åtminstone tre har ett fyrsiffrigt antal elbussar. I övrigt föredrar Paris biogas framför biodiesel.electrive skrev:RATP in Paris has reached an essential symbolic milestone by commissioning its 1,000th electric bus. The anniversary model – brand Heuliez – has been given a special livery to mark the occasion. In addition to the 1,000 electric buses, RATP currently operates 1,320 biomethane buses and other hybrid and diesel vehicles in the French capital. As part of the ‘Bus2025’ programme, 70 per cent of the fleet is now electric, biomethane or hybrid buses, according to the company.
Île-de-France Mobilités aims to achieve a “100% clean bus fleet” in densely populated areas by 2025 and in the entire capital region by 2029, making the Île-de-France region “a global reference for public transport with very low CO2 emissions.” According to those responsible, more than 4,000 clean vehicles (electric or biomethane) are already on the road in the entire Île-de-France region. This effort is said to have already reduced the CO2 emissions caused by bus transport by 50 per cent between 2015 and 2025.

So far, those responsible say they have electrified eight bus depots in and around Paris – at the Nation, Corentin, Lilas, Pleyel, Lebrun, Vitry, Malakoff, and now Point du Jour. Ten depots have also been equipped to accommodate biomethane buses (Créteil, Bussy-St-Martin, Massy, Nanterre, Thiais, Aubervilliers, Flandre, Saint-Maur, Pavillons-sous-Bois and Fontenay). With regard to the Point du Jour site, Île-de-France Mobilités explains that the conversion was carried out between 2021 and August 2024 and was subsidised by the authority to the tune of 29 million euros. The site now has high-voltage connections, a new power distribution system and 90 charging stations. Enedis was responsible for installing the energy systems.
Det kan noteras att för fem år sedan var det ungefär samma rangordning i Europa: Moscow launches its 500th electric bus; largest electric bus fleet in Europe
Det finns flera kända turkiska elbusstillverkare, t.ex. Karsan och Temsa. Hur går egentligen elektrifieringen i Istanbul?Green Car Congress skrev:Moscow’s electric fleet is thus the largest in Europe. For comparison—in October, there were 300 electric buses in London, 259 in Paris, 200 in Berlin and 164 in Amsterdam, according to Mosgortrans, the major bus operator of the city.
