Low emissions and digital transformation

Acquisition and commissioning of buses for municipal public transport fleets powered by alternative energies. Specifically: 

• Thirty-six 12-metre hydrogen busesTwelve 36-metre electric buses in conjunction with CornellàBarcelona City Council
• Eighteen 12-metreNineteen 12-metre electric buses in conjunction with L’Hospitalet de Llobregat City Council
• FiveTwelve 125-metre electric buses in conjunction with CornellàEl Prat City Council

This represents an increase in clean or climate-neutral forms of mobility, and a reduction in polluting motorised forms of transport, by making part or all of a journey possible using more sustainable forms of transport, by using public transport. 

It contributes to the decarbonisation of mobility, as it promotes a collective form of public transport, using hydrogen and green electricity (zero emissions), as an alternative to private vehicles. Hydrogen and eElectric vehicles are replacing diesel or gas powered vehicles, thus producing additional decarbonisation. 

It is in line with the European objective of climate neutrality by 2050, as detailed in the European Climate Law. It is also in line with Spain’s Law on Climate Change, the integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC 2021-2030) and its long-term decarbonisation strategy (ELP 2050). 

Acquisition and commissioning of two five-coach trains to improve the Barcelona Metro service (Line L3), to contribute to the decarbonisation of mobility, as it promotes a collective public transport environment mode that uses green electricity as an alternative to private vehicles and promotes travel in a transport environmentmode that contributes to reducing emissions, which promotes the fight against climate change and improves public health in the city and its metropolitan area.

The trains incorporate the latest technologies available on the market for the digitalisation of processes, both for operation and maintenance and for user information, for example, real-time train monitoring, real-time sensorisation of train systems (condition-based maintenance), a real-time digital and multimedia passenger information system, access to the driver's cab by means of digital ID, etc.

The new trains use next-generation convertors and traction equipment. of the new trains are the latest generation. The traction system allowsenables energy consumption to be optimised, as it allows acceleration and braking curves to be reduced, and convertors are designed to optimise the energy consumption in the wholeof the whole system. The new trains also have LED lighting, which reduces energy consumption compared to conventional oneslighting. The new trains are designed with lightweight alloy materials in the configuration of the vehicle, which increase the resistance and reduce the weight ofcompared to theirits predecessors, which also reduces the energy consumption of the whole system. They also incorporate an efficient mode of speed mode within the ATO driving system, thereby maximising drift time. The latter also contributes to optimisinghelps to optimise consumption.
