The district council's decision underscores the challenges electric buses face in terms of high costs. The transition to HVO 100, a synthetic fuel produced from waste, was seen as a more feasible option.
HVO 100 allows for 90% CO2 savings without requiring vehicle modifications or staff retraining, making it a practical choice compared to the financial burden of electric vehicles.
Subsidies for electric bus transitions would only cover 30% of costs, prompting the district administration to revert back to diesel buses as a cost-effective solution.
The refusal to purchase e-buses highlights a significant shift in transportation policy in Nordwestmecklenburg, prioritizing financial viability over the push for electrification.
