MERANO. In a few days, a new one electric bus will enter service on the lines 6 e 236 Of Merano. Another step towards a low-emission future in local public transport. The route of the two lines places special demands on the bus due to the particular topographical conditions. With a length of just 8 meters, the bus offers space for up to 48 passengers and is ideal for the route to Castel Torre thanks to its excellent maneuverability.
«A local public transport service that is green and increasingly converted to electric is a fundamental piece in our city development strategy, which aims to make environmental sustainability an increasingly widespread and practicable modality – from structural and infrastructural interventions to mobility tourism promotion. The topographical conformation of our municipal territory and certain narrower and more tortuous streets require special means. I am sure that this new vehicle will fully respond to the needs of Merano users”, reiterated the mayor of Merano Dario Dal Medico.
«With the entry into service of an additional electric bus, we now have 26 zero-emission buses in our fleet”, says the president of SASA Astrid Kofler«We are consciously focusing on both technologies – buses hydrogen and battery – to be able to offer the right solution in each case, depending on the circumstances. We are pleased to offer our passengers a sustainable alternative and to constantly improve the comfort and reliability of local public transport,” concludes Kofler.
«It is an extreme pleasure to be able to contribute to the green transition process in a cutting-edge area like that of the province of Bolzano, which has been engaged for years in renewing its fleet with sustainable solutions. This is the first Rampini electric bus delivered to SASA, which will be used in suburban areas, therefore constituting a further step in the decarbonisation of public transport services even outside city centres”, he declares Caterina RampiniCEO of Rampini.
