State of Zero-Emission Buses 2024
With the State of Zero-Emission Buses 2024 CROW-KpVV shows how far we have progressed in the Netherlands with the objectives of the Administrative Agreement on Zero Emission Regional Public Transport by Bus (BAZEB). We also pay attention to knowledge development over the past year.
In Chapter 1, we outline where we stand in the transition to zero-emission bus transport. Chapter 2 deals with what considerations public transport authorities can make regarding the construction and management of parking facilities. And Chapter 3 discusses the costs and financing of the zero-emission bus system.
Background
For the administrative agreement, the IPO, the Transport Region Amsterdam, the Metropolitan Region Rotterdam The Hague and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management signed in 2016. The agreement is based on three goals:
- from 2025, all new buses are 100% zero-emission at the exhaust
- 100% of the bus fleet is replaced by zero-emission buses by 2030
- by 2025 at the latest, regionally generated energy for bus transport is renewable.
It was also agreed that the transition to zero-emission bus transport should not be at the expense of passengers and thus services in regional bus transport. In addition, public transport concessions have as favourable a score as possible on well-to-wheel CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre, with what is considered ‘as favourable as possible’ still to be specified.
