The panelists will discuss the available public funding options, both on a European and national level, and whether they are sufficient for a full transition to zero emission bus fleets. The geographical spread of funding options is also an important consideration, and whether the current public funding options promote a just transition. Discussions will include key learnings from successful funding mechanisms, and how these can be implemented in regions across Europe.
CINEA (The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency) will moderate the panel. CINEA brings extensive experience of providing funding for ZEB and infrastructure deployment projects across Europe.
C40 will share their experience and key learnings in zero emission bus deployment projects across Latin American cities through the ZEBRA (Zero Emission Bus Rapid-deployment Accelerator) Partnership. The success in innovative funding models used by Latin American cities and operators and how these models can be used in Europe will be discussed.
As a recipient of CEF Transport funding with Bus2025, RATP will provide the perspective of a transport operator receiving European funding, key learnings, and main outputs of these current projects.
The EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) will explain the funding mechanisms available for ZEB deployment and infrastructure projects, including the funding availabilities for EBRD Green Cities. Similarly, the EIB (European Investment Bank) will discuss their funding mechanisms available to decarbonise bus fleets, such as through Green Bonds.
