Preservation and protection of ecosystems

As a global mobility integrator and trusted partner to local authorities, we are committed to helping the areas we serve achieve their environmental objectives

In France, since 2016, we have been a partner of CDC Biodiversité, a subsidiary of the Caisse des Dépôts Group, through the Nature 2050 program, entirely dedicated to actions in favor of biodiversity. The aim of the program is to ensure the protection and preservation of our ecosystems. This partnership reflects our commitment to protecting and restoring local ecosystems. This partnership has enabled us to commit to the restoration of more than 62,000m² of green spaces in the territories in which Transdev operates, the preservation of which is guaranteed until 2050. In 2021, we have gone a step further in formalizing our commitment by signing a framework agreement with CDC Biodiversité on French territory to follow territorial departments in supporting concrete actions in favor of biodiversity.

Realization

Deploying electrical solutions tailored to local conditions

In Colombia, Transdev and its partner Fanalca launched the largest electric bus operation outside China in April 2022. Built in just 10 months, the depot covers an area of over 40,000 m², has 406 electric buses, 7 electric substations, 119 charging stations and 381 chargers (also known as "dispensers"). The project not only contributes to reducing CO2 emissions from the city of Bogota's bus network (24,000 tonnes saved each year compared with operating a fleet of diesel-powered thermal vehicles), but also creates jobs (over 1,200 positions created)

Giving a second life to electric bus batteries

Dutch bus manufacturer VDL Bus & Coach and German energy company RWE will give a second life to the batteries of 43 electric buses operated by Transdev in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The aim of this project, called “Anubis,” is to offer a sustainable reuse solution for batteries that still have sufficient capacity to be used for stationary applications. The used batteries are used as an energy storage system before being recycled. The 43 batteries, with a total storage capacity of 7.5 megawatts, will be connected to a battery at RWE's power plant in Moerdijk. In addition, the battery systems, due to their fast response time, help stabilize the
energy grid. This project actively contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. The experience gained should enable large-scale deployment and contribute to the development of new circular economy solutions in the Netherlands.

Committed to sustainable mobility in everyday life: our partnership with ADEME

ADEME and Transdev have been working together for several years on a number of projects and calls for proposals to promote the development of innovative, sustainable mobility solutions for everyday life, and to support local ecological planning. For the first time in 2022, a partnership has been established to strengthen the impact of this collaboration. Three main themes guide this agreement:

Supporting the decarbonization of public transport fleets: the aim will be to collaboratively build the most efficient financial levers that could accompany the greening of road, rail and maritime vehicle fleets towards low or very low emission powertrains.
The institutionalization of relations between ADEME and Transdev at territorial level: the ambition is to facilitate and encourage exchanges, field visits and synergies between teams on common themes. The aim for both parties is to jointly meet the challenges facing local authorities in terms of the ecological transition of mobility.
The launch of new joint studies or research projects: the impact of systems for linking active mobility and public transport; a study of the environmental performance of public transport offers according to use and motorization; continuation of work underway on the acquisition and processing of user data on mobility practices.
