Volvo buses to be built in Wroclaw
Truck and bus maker AB Volvo has received an order for thirty two of its biogas buses from Bernmobil, the company in charge of public transport in the Swiss capital, Bern.
The buses will be ready by next year, with an option of 39 more to follow, announced Volvo.
Bernmobil has decided to gradually replace its diesel-operated buses with gas buses for environmental reasons. "We are very proud to be chosen to deliver the first buses when Bern now takes a big step toward creating an even cleaner environment for its inhabitants," says Thierry Currit, head of Volvo Buses in Switzerland.
"One of Volvo's core values is protecting the environment. It is therefore perfectly natural for Volvo Buses to constantly update and improve our range of gas buses."
The buses will be built in Volvo Buses' factory in Wroclaw, Poland.
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
