As part of its climate protection efforts, Vienna achieves a new small milestone. A total of 60 e-buses and 10 H2 buses are being purchased by Wiener Linien. The plan is to convert ten lines to zero-emission drives by 2025.

Thanks to the subway and streetcar, 80 percent of passengers in Vienna are already emission-free because Wiener Linien's rail operations are purely electric. Now the public transport company is focusing on decarbonizing its bus fleet.
