en.Wedoany.com Reported - Scania will deliver a batch of biogas-powered buses to Nobina, which will operate on the Malmö-Lund/Kristianstad routes in the Skåne region of Sweden.
Biogas is a renewable fuel produced from waste, offering the dual benefits of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and enhancing fuel supply security. In Sweden, most compressed biogas is produced locally, meaning value creation occurs near the fuel's point of use. Nobina has equipped these buses with long-distance coach seats, restrooms, and additional interior options, making them suitable for long-distance travel. Furthermore, the low noise levels from the biogas powertrain will enhance passenger comfort.
This order will expand the fleet of Scania biogas buses operated for Skånetrafiken, reinforcing the region's long-term investments in renewable fuels. The decision to choose Scania was also based on positive experiences from current collaborations and ongoing operations. "Sustainability is important to us, and the vehicles should also be easy to own. This is crucial for our drivers, passengers, and our mission to provide reliable transportation every day," said Helena Ericson, Fleet Manager at Nobina.
The buses will be bodied by Irizar, with the model being the Scania Irizar i4, marking the debut of this specific model in Swedish public transport operations. While the i4 is new to Sweden, Scania and Irizar have achieved success with the i4 in several European countries, particularly in Southern Europe, where biogas is also commonly used.
"Biogas is a circular and locally produced solution that delivers immediate significant climate benefits. With the Scania Irizar i4, Nobina will gain a modern and comfortable bus that is quiet, energy-efficient, and ideal for regional travel. We are proud to continue contributing to the sustainable development of public transport in the Skåne region," said Rutger Hörndahl, Key Account Manager at Scania Sweden.
The buses will be delivered in close cooperation with LECAB Lastbilar AB, Irizar's representative in Sweden, ensuring a safe and reliable process from production through delivery and operational launch.
