About
The panel is to discuss the technical requirements from operators to decarbonize their coach fleets and what vehicle OEMs are doing to develop this market.

Zemo Partnership will moderate the panel and share insights from their Bus & Coach Working Group, which collaborates with government and industry to ensure customer needs are met. Projects include the Zero Emission Bus Certification scheme as well as industry publications and public forums to share best practices and technical guidance to accelerate the market.

Transdev is well placed to contribute to the discussion on zero emission coaches, given the company’s experience via projects such as the Nomad Car Hydrogène project in Normandy where an 11-year-old diesel powered bus has been transformed into the first hydrogen fuel cell coach (to be used on a 380km/day service requiring less than one refuelling/day).

Global Passenger Network (GPN) will also be able to discuss the different needs for coach operators globally regarding zero-emission coaches and peri-urban buses.

From the OEM’s perspective, Yutong has already made several achievements in the field of zero-emission mobility, with 172,000 total sales of low emission buses and a reduction of 26.2 million tonnes of CO2. Yutong will be discussing and showcasing the U18, T15E, E7S and U11DD low emission buses, as well as the newly upgraded YEA technology. Yutong will discuss the product features of the new buses, the advantages of zero emission technology and a status update in the zero-emission field.

Solarbus will share information on its high-performance solar modules allowing partial decarbonization of long-distance coach travel.
