Important building block for climate protection targets
On the way to an emission-free bus fleet
DSW21's bus fleet is already one of the most modern and lowest-emission in the country and is now gradually reaching a whole new level in terms of climate friendliness.
When DSW21 runs all 30 of its existing electric vehicles, around a fifth of the entire fleet will be emission-free. Fuel consumption will be reduced by around 900,000 litres per year.
Emission-free
transport
With our electric buses, you can enjoy the feeling of actively contributing to environmental protection. Thanks to emission-free drive technology, our electric buses leave no harmful exhaust fumes on the roads. That means clean air to breathe and a sustainable future for us all.
Elaborate charging infrastructure
DONETZ installs eight-megawatt power connection
The charging infrastructure was installed at great expense: DONETZ specially laid an eight-megawatt power connection to supply the depot in Brünninghausen with certified green electricity. The associated 150-tonne transformer station was sunk into the ground with the help of a heavy-duty crane and, together with three other, somewhat smaller transformer stations and a transfer station, forms the backbone of the charging infrastructure.
