This February sees the start of a 100% electric bus pilot to provide DRT services on a further 6 lines in the Catalonia region of northern Spain.  The pilot test is being carried out with local operator TEISA in collaboration with INDCAR and a vehicle manufactured by Bluebus.

In a future edition of NemiNews we will share more information about the electric bus services but in the meantime here are some numbers we´d like to highlight:

The services use a compact 6-meter long vehicle that has capacity for 23 standing passengers, 10 seats and a designated wheelchair space.  It has a range of 250kms with a recharge time of 6 hours.

Since 2023 the Nemi DRT service in La Garrotxa has  been running with an electric bus. Together with the 6 new services, there are now 7 Nemi DRT services operating with electric buses in Spain.
