In the heart of Europe, Luxembourg is making bold strides in public transportation. The Grand Duchy has embarked on an ambitious plan to electrify its bus fleet, positioning itself as a leader in the adoption of green mobility solutions.
Luxembourg’s commitment to electric buses is not just about keeping up with trends; it’s about setting them. With plans to have all city buses running solely on electric power by 2030, Luxembourg is on track to meet EU directives for zero-emission vehicles.
The shift to electric buses comes with significant financial investment. Each electric bus costs around 550,000 euros, a price that reflects not only the vehicle but also the longer operating time and reduced maintenance compared to diesel buses. Luxembourg is investing heavily in infrastructure to support this transition, including the installation of overhead charging stations, like the one at Voyages Ecker’s garage in Steinsel (on the photo).
Despite these investments, Luxembourg keeps offering free public transport across the country since 29 February 2020. This initiative includes all modes of transport – buses, trains, and the tram – making Luxembourg the first country in the world to take such a step.
Luxembourg’s journey towards an electrified public transport system is a beacon of progress. It showcases the country’s commitment to environmental sustainability, economic foresight, and social responsibility.
