Brandenburg is electrical: 16 new e-buses for better air quality!

Königs Wusterhausen, Deutschland - Last week, the regional transport company Dahme-Spreewald (RVS) took an important step towards sustainable mobility. On July 9, 2025, 16 new electric buses from the Chinese manufacturer B.Y.D. put into operation. These emission -free buses are to be used primarily in the north of the district and offer space for up to 71 passengers. A real progress when you consider that the new models are not only environmentally friendly, but also offer more space for wheelchairs and strollers than their diesel ancestors. As reports [Tagesschau] (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/REGERGIAL/RBB-E-BUSSE-BUSTERHAUSE- WIENSHAUSEN-ABGASE-ME- Mehr-100.html), these buses are available for up to 450 kilometers long and-depending on the weather conditions-can be recharged within two hours.

The investment for these new electric buses and the associated charging infrastructure amounts to a whopping 11 million euros. A gratifying detail: Around half of this sum was funded by the federal government to support the switch to sustainable means of transport. In addition, the district of Dahme-Spreewald is investing, such as electrive.net reports, own funds of 4.4 million euros in order to underline the outstanding importance of CO2 reduction and sustainability. The district administrator, Sven Herzberger, emphasizes that the new fleet not only increases driving comfort for students and restricted mobility, but also sets an important sign in the fight against climate change.

modern technology and sustainability

The electric buses used use LFP cells that are considered robust and durable in the industry. The RVS thus contributes to a technological retrofitting that is aiming for more and more transport companies in Germany. According to the EnBW, the proportion of electrical and hybrid buses has now increased to 2.4 percent of the entire German public transport fleet. This shows that the switch to environmentally friendly drives is in full swing.

parallel to the purchase of the electric buses, the RVS has also invested in diesel buses, which are particularly used for overland trips. This renewed 20 percent of the total fleet. This approach to invest in both diesel -powered and electric vehicles shows that the district clearly relies on a balanced mobility strategy that takes all passengers into account.

The future of mobility in Brandenburg

With these new developments in Dahme-Spreewald, it goes hand in hand with the fact that the technology of electric buses in Germany is continuously expanded. By 2030, the transport companies plan to purchase another 6,000 vehicles. Trust in this technology is strong and many municipalities rely on the promotion of emission -free transport. At [Tagesschau] (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/brandenburg/rbb-e-busse-in-koenigs-wusterhausen-keine-abgase- Mehr) and and electrive.net) is agreed: These developments could revolutionize public transport in Brandenburg and bring the region to a greener course.
