Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein (VHH) encarga de una sola vez hasta 350 nuevos autobuses el\u00e9ctricos para su flota de transporte p\u00fablico de casi 700 veh\u00edculos. MAN Truck & Bus y Daimler Buses son los ganadores del mayor concurso de autobuses el\u00e9ctricos de la historia de la empresa.<\/p>\n
La VHH anunci\u00f3 el gran pedido tres meses despu\u00e9s de la noticia de que la conversi\u00f3n de las flotas de autobuses de Hamburgo a veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos avanza m\u00e1s lentamente de lo previsto. Seg\u00fan la respuesta del Senado a una peque\u00f1a pregunta, a finales de a\u00f1o Hochbahn y VHH hab\u00edan puesto en marcha conjuntamente unos 58 veh\u00edculos, es decir, un 20% menos de autobuses el\u00e9ctricos de lo previsto.<\/p>\n
No es una cuesti\u00f3n de voluntad. La VHH lo respalda ahora con acuerdos marco reci\u00e9n firmados para 350 autobuses el\u00e9ctricos. La empresa encargar\u00e1 hasta 100 Lion's City 12 E a MAN. Daimler Buses tiene una opci\u00f3n para un total de 250 veh\u00edculos Mercedes-Benz eCitaro. Si Hamburgo recurre a la totalidad de los 350 autobuses el\u00e9ctricos, la parte de su flota propulsada el\u00e9ctricamente se multiplicar\u00e1 por m\u00e1s de cuatro. VHH opera actualmente 86 autobuses el\u00e9ctricos, que se utilizan principalmente en servicio regular desde las cocheras de Bergedorf, en el este, y Schenefeld, en el oeste. Seg\u00fan la empresa de transporte p\u00fablico, en las pr\u00f3ximas semanas entrar\u00e1n en servicio 17 autobuses el\u00e9ctricos m\u00e1s y once transportadores el\u00e9ctricos, por lo que la flota de autobuses el\u00e9ctricos crecer\u00e1 hasta un total de 114 veh\u00edculos en el segundo trimestre de 2023.<\/p>\n
El primer suministro procedente de los acuerdos marco celebrados ahora con MAN y Daimler Buses se espera en Hamburgo en el primer semestre del a\u00f1o. Ya se han hecho pedidos fijos de 48 autobuses individuales de MAN y de 47 autobuses individuales y 48 articulados de Daimler Buses. La VHH ha pedido ergo inmediatamente 143 de los 350 autobuses. Los acuerdos marco tienen vigencia hasta 2028, por lo que los fabricantes garantizan la entrega de las unidades adicionales hasta entonces.<\/p>\n
\"Tenemos una visi\u00f3n clara en mente: en la d\u00e9cada de 2030, queremos que en las carreteras de la regi\u00f3n metropolitana de Hamburgo no haya emisiones\", afirma el director gerente de la VHH, el Dr. Lorenz Kasch. \"Los veh\u00edculos innovadores son una pieza importante en este proceso. Estamos trabajando muy intensamente con todos los fabricantes que nos suministran. Temas como la disponibilidad y la autonom\u00eda han cobrado impulso. Estamos deseando seguir juntos este camino\".<\/p>\n
Ambos fabricantes proporcionan algunos detalles sobre los modelos encargados en sus propios comunicados de prensa emitidos. Por ejemplo, los autobuses eCitaro tienen tres puertas como autobuses individuales y cuatro puertas como autobuses articulados. Seg\u00fan Daimler Buses, se trata de ejemplares con la tecnolog\u00eda de bater\u00edas mejorada presentada en 2022 con las denominadas bater\u00edas NMC3 a bordo. \"Una capacidad energ\u00e9tica de 490 kWh para el autob\u00fas solo e incluso de 588 kWh para el autob\u00fas articulado garantizan una autonom\u00eda pr\u00e1ctica sin carga intermedia\", subraya el fabricante. Daimler Buses no es m\u00e1s preciso sobre la autonom\u00eda. Sin embargo, VHH afirma que la autonom\u00eda de todos los modelos encargados (MAN y Daimler Buses) es de 200 a 300 kil\u00f3metros.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Charging sockets are located on both the left and right of the eCitaros at the height of the front wheel arches. The buses are charged purely at the VHH depot. The safety equipment of the Mercedes vehicles includes, among other things, a braking and a turning assistant as well as an acoustic environment protection system. Inside, the vehicles feature wood-look flooring, USB dual charging sockets, passenger counting systems and special-use areas for wheelchairs and\/or prams.<\/p>\n
For MAN, this is also not the first electric bus order from the Hamburg VHH headquarters. In fact, this is already the fourth order, according to the Munich-based manufacturer. At the end of 2019, VHH ordered the first 17 MAN Lion’s City 12 E buses. The next order was for a further 20 electric buses. In 2022, VHH opted for electric buses from MAN for the third time: the order at that time comprised 30 solo buses and six articulated buses.<\/p>\n
The current framework agreement is exclusively for electrically powered solo buses, which also have three doors. MAN gives a total of 480 kWh as the energy content of the six battery packs, which is ten kilowatt-hours less than the eCitaro solo bus. One of the buses’ features highlighted by the manufacturer is a CO2 air conditioning system that uses climate-neutral carbon dioxide (R744) instead of the conventional refrigerant R134a. In addition, the Lion’s City 12 E examples also roll out with extensive safety equipment including brake and turn assistants, USB charging sockets, among other features.<\/p>\n
Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein has been ordering only buses with zero-emission drives for its Hamburg service area since 2020. The company operates 170 routes in the Hamburg metropolitan region. With more than 2,300 employees and around 670 buses at 17 locations, VHH describes itself as the “second largest local transport company in northern Germany”. According to the company, its vehicles cover around 34 million kilometres in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein every year, carrying around 62 million passengers.<\/p>\n
The goal issued by the transport company is to convert the vehicle fleet to zero-emission drives as far as possible by the 2030s. “One of our most important topics for the future is electromobility. Since 2020, VHH has been procuring only electric buses for Hamburg. We have entered completely new territory here and are glad that we can now fall back on vehicles that are ready for series production. Great progress has been made, especially in terms of range and availability,” emphasises VHH Managing Director Kasch.<\/p>\n
Incidentally, Hochbahn has also stopped procuring new diesel buses since 2020. In this respect, both Hamburg transport companies are taking this path together. Hochbahn’s fleet comprises around 1,100 buses and is thus even larger than the VHH fleet. Both receive government support for the conversion to e-drives. In April 2022, for example, Hochbahn and VHH received almost 160 million euros from the Federal Ministry of Transport to procure 472 additional electric buses including charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n
