Two major urban networks launches, effective December 14, 2025
Utrecht Binnen (U-OV bus & tram)
Awarded in June 2024, the Utrecht Binnen contract covers bus and tram services in and around Utrecht city center under the U-OV brand for 10 years, and represents a total value of around €1.7 billion. As part of the program, Transdev is currently replacing the entire current bus fleet with zero-emission, including 228 new electric buses from Solaris, Yutong, Volvo and VDL, alongside the reuse of 69 existing electric buses.
The network comprises 50 bus lines, carrying over 30 million passengers a year. The tram network covers three lines over 18.3 km, with 54 CAF trainsets, carrying around 10 million passengers a year. Daily operations are supported by a dedicated team of around 1,000 staff members, including approximately 850 drivers and technicians and 150 staff in support, operations and management functions.
Throughout the 18-month transition process, we witnessed a high level of professionalism, which created confidence and a sense of calmness. We want to congratulate the passengers, as we are fully convinced that they will benefit from this punctual and tailor-made public transport service within the Province.

HWGO (Hoeksche Waard–Goeree-Overflakkee, South Holland)
In the HWGO region of the Province of South Holland, Transdev has started its renewed contract under the Transdev brand, with a focus on improved service, zero-emission mobility and social inclusion. Awarded in November 2024, the new 13-year contract (until end 2038) is valued at close to €0.5 billion over its duration and carries around 4 million passengers per year.
The program includes an increase of 20% in services by 2028 using a bus fleet which will ultimately be fully electric and zero-emission, including 67 new Volvo and VDL battery-electric buses and 20 existing Solaris hydrogen fuel cell electric buses.
The start of Utrecht Binnen and the renewed HWGO concession on the same day is a powerful signal of our teams’ commitment and readiness. We are grateful for the trust placed in us by the Provinces of Utrecht and South Holland, and we will focus from day one on reliability, passenger experience and implementing cleaner mobility across both networks.
