Transdev Worldwide
Our activity enable us to reduce the carbon footprint of the public transportation sector, but also to reduce road traffic and the massive emissions it generates.
Our first catalyst in favor of the environment is to attract passengers:
In addition, we inform passengers on the environmental impact of their journey, by offering comparisons between various modes of transportation (kg GHG emissions/100km traveled).

Thermal power ferries offer efficient, comfortable, and popular shared transportation for travelers, providing a credible alternative to driving alone. This is the case with Transdev Sweden’s ferries. The M/S Rex, a ship built in 1937, ran on a mixture of diesel and biodiesel until 2020. The use of this boat avoided 50kg of CO2eq emissions per journey, compared to an equivalent journey by private car. In addition to reducing emissions, the M/S Rex also eases traffic congestion in the Swedish capital.
The Swedish teams have furthered their objective to pursue energy transition for their activities: following a retrofit carried out in partnership with Scania, the M/S Rex is now hybrid and uses biodiesel and electricity. It can technically run entirely on electric power. However, for this to be possible, the local authorities must invest in charging infrastructure to provide shore power at the end of the line.
