The Wiener Linien transport company has ordered 60 Mercedes-Benz eCitaro electric buses to run in the bustling metropolis of Vienna.
This purchase will help the Austrian city to reduce its local emissions with low-floor buses that produce zero emissions, with deliveries starting next year through 2025.
The lithium-ion batteries have a capacity of 392 kWh each, which offers an extended long operating range. Current collectors also enable rapid charging at up to 300 kW, which increases the range and operating times. The transition to environmentally friendly all-electric buses also requires the development of infrastructure adapted to technical and operational requirements. In order to address this, Wiener Linien will build a new e-competence center in its former bus parking lot at Siebenhirten in the south of the Austrian capital by the end of 2023. The new e-competence center will be able to accommodate around 50 e-buses that will be charged, maintained, and repaired there.
Wiener Linien is a subsidiary of Wiener Stadtwerke GmbH and builds and operates the subway, bus, and streetcar networks in the Austrian capital. Wiener Linien is responsible for helping nearly two million passengers reach their destinations quickly, safely, and comfortably every day. With 127 bus routes with a combined route length of around 850 kilometers, Wiener Linien makes 4230 stops a day.
