Our e-bus fleet keeps growing
There are currently 227 BVG e-buses on Berlin's roads. This makes the BVG one of the largest e-bus fleets in Germany. And it will continue to grow. From 2025, it will be reinforced by 50 new Solaris Urbino 18 electric articulated buses. By 2027, around 500 BVG buses will already be running on electricity.
New charging concept in urban areas
In order to be able to use the new electric buses successfully during our regular service, more charging facilities are needed in the city. 36 terminal stops are to be converted with a new charging concept. In future, the articulated electric buses will be charged using a pantograph with so-called “bottom-up” technology. The movable contact arm is not located on the charging mast, but on the roof of the bus.
E-cars as company cars
Of course, BVG is also powered by electricity - with more than 150 electric company vehicles that are supplied with 100 per cent green electricity at around 200 e-charging stations. This means that almost all non-passenger company cars and a large part of the van fleet have been converted to electric mobility and are emission-free.
