De Lijn, the Flemish public transport operator, has awarded contracts to BYD, Iveco Bus, and VDL Bus & Coach for 290 electric buses, committing €185 million as it aims for a fully emission-free fleet by 2035. This order is part of a larger €400 million initiative from the Flemish government to modernize De Lijn's fleet and follows previous contracts for additional electric buses. Notably, De Lijn has shifted to a full Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) strategy, discontinuing hydrogen buses and signaling future investments in even more e-buses.
De Lijn is committing to a significant electrification strategy, ordering 290 electric buses by 2035 to create a fully emission-free fleet.
The €185 million investment highlights De Lijn's commitment to fleet electrification, backed by €400 million from the Flemish government.
