VDL Bus & Coach dodáva dva autobusy Citea pre spoločnosť RET (Rotterdam public transport)-projekt NEMS.

Autobusy typu CLF (Citea Low Floor) sú 12 metrov dlhé a majú kompletne nízku podlahu. Citey budú v prevedení e-Traction a budú mať hybridný systém pohonu. e-Traction je holandská výskumná inžinieringová firma. Objednávka je súčasťou tzv. projektu NEMS, pričom NEMS je holandská skratka pre energiu - výkonný a k životnému prostrediu priateľský mestský autobus. Cieľom projektu, ktorý podporuje holandská vláda, sú nulové výfukové emisie v centre Rotterdamu. Partnermi, ktorí spolupracujú na projekte NEMS sú RET (Rotterdam public transport company), RCI (Rotterdam Climate Initiative), VDL Bus & Coach, e-Traction Europe B.V., Eneco, the City Region of Rotterdam a Rotterdam Institute of Higher Education. Citey, premenované pre tento projekt na autobusy NEMS, budú podľa cestovného poriadku dopravcu RET prevádzkované počas dvoch rokov, projekt štartuje na jeseň tohto roka. TS: VDL Bus & Coach bv, Valkenswaard, výber z anglického originálu: VDL Bus & Coach supplies for NEMS project in Rotterdam VDL Bus & Coach has been awarded the order to supply two Citeas to RET (Rotterdam public transport company), the concession holder for urban transport in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The buses concerned are CLFs (Citea Low Floor), which are 12 metres long and have a completely flat floor. The Citeas will be converted by e- Traction and will have a hybrid drive system. e-Traction is a Dutch engineering and inventing firm. This order forms part of the so-called NEMS project: NEMS is the Dutch abbreviation for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly city buses. The aim is to have zero-emission driving in the centre of Rotterdam. The project is subsidised by the Dutch government. NEMS partners The partners co-operating in the NEMS project are RET (Rotterdam public transport company), RCI (Rotterdam Climate Initiative), VDL Bus & Coach, e-Traction Europe B.V., Eneco, the City Region of Rotterdam and the Rotterdam Institute of Higher Education. The Citeas, renamed NEMS buses for this project, will run on RET's timetable for two years. During these two years the Citeas will be tested and information will be gathered about the operational characteristics and the sustainability effects that can be achieved. The project will start in the autumn of 2009. Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly Fuel consumption is expected to fall by as much as half that of a normal city bus. The reduction in CO2 emissions will be 50%. In certain streets and districts of Rotterdam driving can be done completely electrically. This means zero-emission driving. An additional environmentally friendly aspect is that the Citeas produce far less noise, both inside and outside the bus. Thanks to the smooth acceleration and braking in combination with this reduced noise, an increased feeling of comfort is achieved for both the passengers and the driver.

Zastoupení Volvo Buses v Severní Americe, Nova Bus, obdrželo objednávku na 90 kloubových autobusů pro město New York. Autobusy budou kompletovány v nově otevřeném závodě v Plattsburghu v USA. MTA New York City Transit vlastní a provozuje flotilu více než 4500 autobusů. Newyorská flotila operuje na 249 lokálních a expresních linkách a obslouží asi 2,3 milionu cestujících průměrně denně. Objednávka následuje po úspěšném provozování Nova LFS Artic bus na lince Bx12 v Bronxu a lince M15 na Manhattanu. V minulých letech prodávala Nova Bus městské autobusy v Kanadě. V USA je kvůli financování třeba, aby částečná výroba proběhla v USA. Proto budou autobusy kompletovány v Plattsburghu. Článkové autobusy pro New York City Transit budou odtud dodávány od prvního pololetí 2010. V Plattsburghu budou také stavěny 12 m diesely a hybridy. Z TZ Volvo Buses Volvo secures order for 90 buses for New York City Volvo Buses’ subsidiary in North America, Nova Bus, has secured an order for 90 articulated buses for New York City. The buses will be assembled at the new plant in Plattsburgh, US, which was opened on Monday. Serving the five boroughs of New York City, MTA New York City Transit owns and operates a fleet of over 4,500 buses – the largest bus fleet of any public agency in North America. NYC Transit’s fleet operates on 249 local and express routes, serving approximately 2.3 million passengers on an average weekday. Their order follows a successful six-week in-revenue service run of a Nova LFS Artic bus on the Bx12 route in the Bronx and the M15 route in Manhattan. In recent years, Nova Bus has sold city buses only in Canada. In order to sell city buses in the US – buses that are partially financed by tax funds – the US authorities require that part of the buses be manufactured in the US. Nova Bus has manufactured buses only in Canada in past years, but now a new plant is ready in the northern part of New York state in the US. The inauguration ceremony for the plant was held on Monday and the first bus will be rolled out at the end of June. The articulated buses for New York City Transit will be assembled there, with delivery scheduled for the first half of 2010. Nova Bus will also assemble its 12-meter diesel bus and its hybrid bus at the Plattsburgh plant.

Autobusy budou dodány k otevření světové výstavy Expo v Šanghaji v květnu 2010. Šanghaj modernizuje vozový park právě při příležitosti výstavy s tématem "Lepší město, lepší život". Asi polovina z 1500 autobusů budou modely Volvo B7RLE a Volvo B6R a ostatní se značkou Sunwin: diesely, hybridy a elektrobusy s nočním dobíjením a dobíjením superkapacitorů na zastávkach. Komponenty pro podvozky Volvo jsou připraveny ve švédském závodě v Borås. V Šanghaji jsou pak kompletovány. Z TZ Volvo Buses Major agreement for Volvo Buses in China Volvo Buses, with subsidiary Sunwin Bus, signed a framework agreement for 1,500 buses with bus operator Bashi Group in Shanghai, China. The agreement is valued at approximately SEK 1.3 billion and the buses will be delivered up to the opening of the World Expo in Shanghai in May next year. The City of Shanghai is making major investments in modernizing and streamlining its public transport prior to the World Expo, which will open on May 1, 2010. The theme for the fair is “Better City, Better Life”. “An increase and modernization of the bus traffic is an important part of the venture,” says Lars Blom, Head of Volvo Buses’ operations in China. “It involves raising the standard of the bus fleet by purchasing more Volvo buses and a strong investment in environmentally friendly buses from our subsidiary Sunwin Bus, a 50-50 joint venture between Volvo Buses and Shanghai Automotive Industry Co.” Of the framework agreement’s 1,500 buses, about half will be Volvo buses, models Volvo B7RLE and Volvo B6R, and the remainder of the Sunwin brand. The Sunwin buses include normal diesel buses as well as hybrid buses, electric buses that are charged at night and buses equipped with super capacitors that are charged at bus stops when passengers alight and board the buses. The framework agreement implies that the Bashi Group will make suborders each month. To date, the company has called for about 300 of the buses and the aim is that all 1,500 buses will be ordered and delivered prior to the commencement of the World Expo. “It is encouraging that customers in Shanghai are so satisfied with the quality supplied by Volvo Buses and Sunwin Bus that they return to us with new orders,” says Lars Blom. “We are also hoping for additional bus orders in the venture now in progress in Shanghai.” Components for Volvo buses’ chassis are packed in the plant in Borås and dispatched to the plant in Shanghai, where the chassis are mounted and the buses assembled. The same plant also manufactures the local Sunwin buses. PR Volvo Buses

A hybrid version, the Solaris Urbino 18 Hybrid, was unveiled 2006 as the first European hybrid bus using volume-production technology and is now in revenue service in ten cities in four countries. The Solaris Trollino trolleybus, based on the versatile Urbino, offers public transport which is emission free at the point of operation. The mascot of the Solaris Urbino – a green dachshund – has found a place in many a heart throughout Europe. “The green dachshund is long like a bus and it has short legs, reminiscent of the easy access of our low floor buses. Our buses are fuel-efficient like the dachshund’s small appetite. Its green colour stands for the green credentials of our buses and the dachshund’s legendary fidelity mirrors our loyalty towards our customers,” explains Solange Olszewska, CEO of Solaris Bus & Coach.
