"In the Italian city of Savona, the public transport operator TPL Linea is set to deploy seven additional battery-electric buses in early 2026 as part of its ongoing fleet electrification programme. In Savona, on Liguria sea coast, local public transport operator TPL Linea continues to advance the transition towards zero-emission mobility. The company introduced its first electric bus in October 2023, marking its entry into electric operations, and accelerated the process in March 2024 with the delivery of 14 additional battery-electric vehicles sourced from Solaris and Yutong."
"At the start of 2026, TPL Linea is now preparing to place seven more battery-electric buses into service in the coming weeks. According to Italian trade media (and our sister platform) Autobusweb, six of the vehicles will be assigned to regular line services-covering 9-, 10- and 12-metre segments -while one unit will be allocated to charter operations. The electrification programme is embedded in a broader fleet renewal strategy. During 2026, the operator also plans to retire its ageing Euro III buses."

The operator began electric operations with a first vehicle in October 2023 and added 14 battery-electric buses in March 2024 sourced from Solaris and Yutong. The electrification forms part of a broader fleet renewal that includes retirement of ageing Euro III buses during 2026 and a planned tender for 22 new vehicles powered by electricity and natural gas, including CNG and LNG models. Investments and Industrial Plan updates emphasize continuity, sustainability, service quality, comfort and safety.
