Fourty VDL Citea Electric buses in Eindhoven

In December 2016 fourty VDL Citea SLFA Electric buses started service in Eindhoven. The more than 18-meter-long buses will initially be deployed on busy routes, for instance to and from Eindhoven Airport and the High Tech Campus. The Citea SLFA is a brand new product only presented this summer. Bus service in Eindhoven must be fully electric in 2020. The buses are operated by bus company Hermes. Hermes is part of Connexxion Nederland, which in turn falls under parent company Transdev.

Mostly vdl electric buses put on lines 400 and 401 going from Eindhoven centraal to the airport

I'd love to see the number around this project

They are doing very well. Service started in December 2016. After a couple of week the standby dieselbuses were not needed anymore. A bigger project will start around Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport with 100 similar buses on suburban routes.

Dit is toch echt té modern.. Dit verlangen we niet.. Dit kost hopen geld!

Je kan wel als een konijn in de koplampen blijven staren, maar milieuwetten die dieselbussen verbieden komen er aan. Onvoorbereid afwachten tot je wagenpark in één klap verboden word, dát kost pas hopen geld!
