A committed and responsible player in the Paris region

We have introduced electric vehicles based on our extensive international experience, natural gas vehicles with more than 1,000 vehicles already in operation in France, and, to reduce emissions from existing fleets, we are using new synthetic fuels.

1. Reducing emissions from existing vehicle fleets

The use of synthetic fuels such as GTL (synthetic fuel derived from natural gas) or HVO (biofuel obtained from plant, animal, or waste biomass) rapidly reduces emissions from all combustion engine vehicles in operation, as well as their noise levels. Today, in partnership with Île-de-France Mobilités, we operate more than 40 vehicles running on GTL in Chelles and 50 running on HVO in Vulaines.

2. Development of the NGV sector

Transdev actively supports the development of the NGV sector in Île-de-France. We operate more than 100 NGV vehicles from the Meaux and Orsay-Marcoussis depots. Our experience and expertise in the construction of compression stations and slow and fast charging installations also enables us to convert new depots.

3. Deployment of electric bus systems

We view the operation of electric buses as a system that integrates charging devices, range, and vehicle capacity. At the Argenteuil depot, Transdev has set up the first multi-manufacturer open charging station and is preparing for smart charging in partnership with IFSTTAR.

By signing the “Entreprises et Quartiers” charter with the Yvelines department in 2016, Transdev made commitments for 2017 in four areas:

• Mobility in priority neighborhoods
• Employment, integration, and training
• Education and academic guidance/discovery of professions and the company
• Economic development

Hearing loss or absence affects 6 million people in France today. That's why we've set up a solution for the deaf and hard-of-hearing that's adapted to their disability. With Acceo, two modes of communication are available to them:

• Instantaneous speech transcription (TIP), with real-time subtitling of what is said
• Visio-interpretation in French sign language (LSF). The visio-interpreter orally translates the deaf person's signs, then translates the customer advisor's words into sign language in real time.
