In the environmental emergency scenario we are facing, caused by climate change, it is urgent to perform an accelerated shift from vehicles with traditional engines to new electric motor vehicles with 0% CO2 emissions. This is the mission of the Portuguese start-up OCEÂNTIA.

This is the promoter's second campaign, after having raised 115.000€ to produce the first 0% CO2 emission bus, which has already been sold to a Portuguese Municipality, and is currently undergoing European certification tests.

The funds raised through this campaign are intended to finance the production of the second 100% electric BLUECITY bus, already ordered by another Portuguese Municipality, to be delivered in the third quarter of this year.

OCEÂNTIA has developed a new model for an electric bus with 0% CO2 emissions, high capacity batteries, a modern and attractive design, and high interior comfort, ideal for public transport and school transport in companies and municipalities.

Each OCEÂNTIA electric bus that replaces an old combustion engine bus will save up to more than 1.000 tons of CO2 over its lifetime.

This new model has attracted the interest of Municipalities and Transportation Operators, to be used in public passenger transport services, and school transport services.

The company has started its activity in the Portuguese market and the expansion to the rest of the European market is expected to start in 2023.

¿Cuál es el impacto?

Direct

Reduction of GHG (greenhouse gases) and CO2 emissions from transportation: while avoiding up to 6.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, the electrical bus from Oceântia is a part of a sustainable transport systems strategy, that supports the reduction of cities’ environmental impact per capita. The CO2 avoided in this campaign is equivalent to planting 3165 trees every year.

Indirect

Promotion of innovation towards sustainability in Portugal: the Oceântia electrical fleet is based on innovative processes in Portugal to develop zero-emission buses. The development and construction of the fleet represent technical know-how and jobs created in Portugal.
Creation of jobs: Oceântia plans to hire 11 people to work in the planning, construction, and sales of electric vehicles.
