CO2-zero transportation for a green future.

Description

OCEÂNTIA is a 100% Portuguese company that has developed new models for electric buses 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.

Esta es la cuarta campaña del promotor, después de haber recaudado 595.000€ para producir los primeros autobuses de emisiones 0% CO2 (Oceântia Autobuses Elétricos, Oceântia Autobuses II and III). Mira los nuevos modelos vendidos a los municipios portugueses en el video a continuación.

Esta campaña tiene como objetivo apoyar el proyecto y otorgar liquidez para producir otro autobús de emisiones 0% CO2, pedido hace unas semanas por un municipio portugués, que se entregará en el tercer trimestre de 2023.


La empresa ya ha recibido pedidos para el suministro de autobuses eléctricos a 10 municipios portugueses, los cuales han asegurado financiación comunitaria para su compra a través del programa POSEUR (Programa Operacional para a Sustentabilidade e Eficiência no Uso de Recursos).

Cada autobús eléctrico OCEÂNTIA que reemplaza un autobús de motor de combustión ahorrará más de 1.000 toneladas de CO2 durante su vida útil.

Este nuevo modelo ha atraído el interés de los municipios y operadores de transporte para ser utilizado en servicios de transporte público de pasajeros y en el transporte escolar.

The Impact

FDirect

  • 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.


Indirect

  • Reduction of GHG (greenhouse gases) and CO2 emissions from transportation: while avoiding up to 6.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, each electrical bus from Oceântia is a part of a sustainable transport systems strategy, that supports the reduction of cities’ environmental impact per capita.
  • Creation of jobs: Oceântia plans to hire 11 people to work in the planning, construction, and sales of electric vehicles.F

Financial viability

This loan will be repaid using the funds from the already agreed upon sale of the bus to a municipality.

Additionally, it is relevant to mention that there is EU funding available, under the Recovery and Resilience Program, to support Municipalities and Private Operators in the renovation and acquisition of new fleets of electric buses. In Portugal, this figure is above 100 million euros of investment for the acquisition of electric buses in the next 3 years. Similar funding is available in Spain and the rest of Europe. As a consequence, there is increased demand for electric buses and several organizations have shown interest in the purchase of this model.
