Düsseldorf is rejoicing: electric buses in the EURO 2024 design are here!

Düsseldorf is going on the offensive to qualify for the NRW Mobility Prize! With the innovative concept of after-work parking, which is being implemented in districts 2, 3, 6 and 9, the state capital wants to prove that unused spaces can be put to good use in the evening. “These are areas that are intended for parking anyway and remain unused in the evening and at night,” explained Mayor Dr. Stephen Keller. Citizens have until December 12, 2024 to cast their vote for Düsseldorf and support the project with prize money of up to 15,000 euros. The finalists also include exciting concepts such as the digital map for large-capacity and heavy-duty transport as well as the on-demand citizen bus, reports RP Online.

Countdown to EURO 2024 with green mobility

On December 7, 2021, two emission-free buses from Rheinbahn AG were presented - in the eye-catching EURO 2024 design. “These buses are not only a sign of our anticipation of the big tournament, but also an important step towards climate neutrality by 2035,” said Keller at the presentation. The buses, which are now running through the city, are not only intended to reduce the city's ecological footprint, but also to warmly welcome guests from all over the world Düsseldorf.de.
