Spanish public bus operator buys 13 buses to run on biomethane only

January 11, 2023 |

In Spain, public bus operator, Moventis TCC Pamplona, Spain, has acquired 13 brand new gas buses from Scania – to run on biomethane only. As part of the Moventia group, the company carries out urban transport in Pamplona and 17 municipal districts in the northern Spanish region of Navarra.

This purchase is a first step on Mancomunidad Comarca de Pamplona’s (MCP) road to decarbonising urban traffic, in which all public service vehicles will soon follow suit, either through electrification or by utilising locally sourced biomethane. As the biogas infrastructure has been put in place, an expansion of the electric grid has simultaneously been done in the area. Preparations are now ongoing with the creation of new charging points for new e-vehicles planned for the near future.

At the public announcement of the fleet renewal, the operator also revealed a new gas supply installation beside the garages. It will allow the new biogas-powered buses to be fuelled on site. Filling will take around four minutes, giving each bus an autonomy of about 300 km
