Public transport authority Nordjyllands Trafikselskab has awarded multi-modal transport company Keolis a bus contract worth €190 million to serve 500,000 people in the region.
Keolis is introducing its largest ever single fleet of electric vehicles operating across a single network in the world and is committed to helping the two local public transport authorities navigate the energy transition.
The roll-out follows 18 months of preparation after the city’s public transport authority awarded multi-modal transport operator Keolis a 10-year contract to operate 138 green vehicles.
The collective behind the trial aim to explore the safe introduction of self-driving autonomous EVs in complex urban areas to help optimise route planning.
Storstockholms Lokaltrafik has awarded Keolis a €500m, four-year extension to operate and maintain the fleet, which will serve the centre of Stockholm and Lidingö island.
East Denmark’s public transport authority has awarded Keolis a 10-year contract to operate and maintain 47 buses, including 32 which are fully electric.
Keolis’ Dutch subsidiary will support the three transport authorities in the transition to greener mobility and will replace the existing diesel buses with 300 fully electric ones.
Public transport authority Skyss will roll out a mainly electric bus fleet this year, run by Keolis which already operates the Norwegian city’s light rail network
