MOBILITY · Demonstration of zero emission coaches and buses in long distance operations (2ZERO Partnership)

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: • Integration of the results of the demonstrations in regular operation of passenger transport operators, in long distance operations. Accelerated replication of this integration, beyond original demo partners, using specific recommendations and sharing of best practices • Reliable operation of long distance zero emission buses and coaches in the EU. • Improved comfort and inter-modality…

Zero emission buses for urban and sub-urban use are successfully implemented in Europe. This has addressed the need to improve air quality, reduce noise and innovate people mobility. Yet there are limitations due to range, vehicle weight and available charging infrastructure to further extend zero emission vehicles in more energy demanding long-distance (ranging from regional, national to transnational) people mobility that needs to be addressed. There is a need to further…
