Gothenburg develops new solutions for sustainable transport and urban development

The busses run exclusively on renewable electricity obtained from wind power and hydro power, which results in an extremely small climate footprint

Gothenburg is the second-largest city in Sweden and a real pioneer in areas like green bonds, smart district heating, and energy-efficient housing. Over the next 15 to 20 years, an ambitious infrastructure investment plan will be implemented in the city. Gothenburg has a strong automotive industry and is the Nordic region’s logistics hub.

The Swedish city is currently the scene of ElectriCity. The program is creating sustainable transportation solutions. After the successful two-year trial of the first electric bus route in Gothenburg set in motion in 2015, the Swedish city is adding a new route to its electric bus operations. In June 2018, two electrically powered high-capacity buses will start operating on route 16 under the ElectriCity venture.
