Krems on the way to the green traffic transition: E-buses planned from 2028
In the city of Krems, public transport is facing significant change. The majority of the municipal council decided that the city bus fleet is expected to be operated with electric motors from 2028. This decision to switch to emission -free vehicles was supported by all parties, with the exception of the FPÖ, and is part of the requirements of the European "Clean Vehicle Directive".
This guideline obliges municipalities that they have to ensure that at least 65 percent of the new vehicles are emission-free when buying buses from 2026. In addition, the existing financing agreement with the Verkehrsverbund Ostregion (before) expires at the end of 2028. The city has the option of extending this agreement by two years, but the lead times for the necessary tenders and orders are already concerned.
criticism and concerns of the FPÖ
Traffic Councilor Alexandra Ambrosch from the SPÖ replied that experts had been included in the planning phase and that one had to rely on their specialist knowledge. Your reasoning underlines that the changeover is not only an obligation, but also a chance for Krems to become more environmentally friendly.
The city will hopefully be able to take a pioneering role in the field of environmentally friendly mobility in the coming years. Information on these topics and the latest developments can also be found in the article www.noen.at .
