Clean Buses, Healthy Cities

The Clean Bus Europe Platform was an initiative under the European Commission’s Clean Bus Deployment Initiative that aimed to support the deployment of clean bus technologies across Europe.

The Platform brought together European cities, transport authorities and operators, together with relevant stakeholders like social dialogue partners, industry, financing and funding institutions, associations, etc. to boost and support the exchange of knowledge and expertise on clean bus deployment.

The Clean Bus Deployment Initiative was launched by the European Commission in 2017 to support the transition to cleaner transport.

Through their combined efforts, signatories of the Initiative were committed to make this transition happen.

The initiative had already been signed by a large number of cities, OEMs and organisations from across Europe and beyond.

The Platform offered European cities the opportunity to learn from cities that had already set up clean bus schemes through tools such as study visits and webinars.

Furthermore, it provided them with tailored technical assistance in the transition towards clean buses.

The Platform was implemented by the APOLLO-EU Consortium, which was led by UITP.

The Clean Bus Europe Platform was financed by the European Union.
