Scandinavian Transport operator Nobina will introduce 27 new Scania Irizar biogas buses into service on behalf of Swedish public transport authority Skånetrafiken. The biogas buses will be introduced into service on the Malmö-Lund/Kristianstad routes and are specifically designed to Skånetrafiken's requirements.
The buses will be bodybuilt by Irizar, and be a Scania Irizar i4 model, marking the premiere of this particular model in public transport operations in Sweden. The Scania Irizar i4 buses are specified to fit longer journeys by including coach seats, a toilet, and additional interior options. Biogas is a renewable fuel produced from waste products, providing both CO₂ reductions and increased security in terms of fuel supply. A large part of Sweden's compressed biogas is produced locally, which means value creation occurs close to
where the fuel is used. “Biogas is a circular and locally produced solution that provides great climate benefits here and now. We are proud to continue to contribute to the sustainable development of public transport in the Skåne region,” says Rutger Hörndahl, Key Account Manager, Scania Sverige. The buses will be delivered in close collaboration with Irizar's representative in Sweden, LECAB Lastbilar AB, ensuring a safe process from all the way from production to delivery and start of operation.
