Dear reader,
We are seeing incredibly interesting (and eventful!) days for the Clean Bus Europe Platform.
While we continue with our webinar series (more fantastic speakers coming up), we have now really kicked off our Study Tours across Europe. After the Netherlands and Madrid, last month the Platform travelled to Paris to engage and exchange. It's during these Tours that you can see what the project is all about, and how it truly serves as a facilitator to advance clean bus deployment. More Tours are coming up in the next weeks: you can read more about that in this newsletter.
Finally, I invite you to mark 6 June 2023 in your calendars for the CBEP Final Event. I will be happy to tell you more about this later, but for now: Save the Date!

UITP publishes report "Depot adaptions for clean bus technologies"
This factsheet series is aimed at providing an overview of the main aspects to consider in the different phases of planning and deploying a new depot, or upgrading an existing one. As public bus fleets are usually made of several technologies, it is not uncommon that depots are shared for different types of buses.

CBEP Host City Madrid becomes the first major European city with a 100% clean bus fleet
Madrid fulfils the promise made by the Mayor of Madrid, Jose Luis Martínez-Almeida, in 2020 that before 2023 no municipal bus powered by this fuel would run on the city's streets with the aim of reducing polluting emissions and improving air quality. The city is the first major European capital - in terms of the number of inhabitants and buses in service - to operate with a 100% clean municipal bus fleet.
