Project type: Energy Efficiency
Project location: Switzerland
Project status: In operation, credits available
Annual CO₂ reduction: ca. 5000 t (till 2030)
The FOEN-certified climate protection programme promotes the use of alternative drive technologies on Swiss roads. Replacing conventional diesel buses with electric and hybrid buses cuts down on fossil fuels and thus avoids CO₂ emissions.
The number of electric buses,hybrid buses and troley hybrid buses on Swiss roads remains small. Conventional diesel buses are still the first choice for new acquisitions. Key reasons for this are the high investment costs and the lack of experience with alternative technologies.
The climate protection programme encourages the purchase of electric and hybrid buses. As a FOEN-registered programme, reduction certificates issued by the FOEN can be purchased for reductions in CO₂ emissions generated by the electric-, hybrid- and hybrid trolley buses. The proceeds from the sale of the certificates enable bus operators to plan their capital outlays more profitably in the medium term. The support programme runs until at least 2030, subject to demand for certificates based on the revised CO₂ law of 1 January 2021. The operation of the programme Swiss Electric and hybrid buses will funded by the foundation KliK.

Did you know...?
Thanks to the participation in the support programme for electric and hybrid buses...
The programme countributes to a sustainable urban development und helps to avoid air and noise pollution.
E-buses save between 60-90 tons of CO2 and hybrid buses between 15-20 tons of CO2 compared to conventional diesel buses.
