The metaCCAZE city, Athens, is accelerating its efforts toward a zero-emission mobility with the recent addition of 140 new electric buses. Approximately 60 of these buses are already in daily operation, providing a cleaner and more efficient mode of transport for residents and visitors.
As part of the metaCCAZE project, the Athens Urban Transport Organisation (OASA) has purchased a first fleet of low-emission and fully electric buses. These 140 slow-charging buses are being integrated in the existing bus fleet, as network of chargers is being set up. With a range of 185 km, these buses can cover a large portion of daily routes. Recently, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) who is supporting the city and OASA in this process, visited one of four terminals hosting the electric buses. During their visit, they received data from the bus operator, OSY, took a short ride on the new buses, and toured the repair facilities.
