Scania and Transdev Partner in the German Bus Market

www.chinabuses.org: The German subsidiary of the French transport group Transdev has ordered 100 city buses from Scania. The deliveries will begin immediately and conclude by the end of 2011. The agreement with Transdev’s German subsidiary is a breakthrough for Scania in the German market for city buses, and it was made possible thanks to Scania’s extensive service network.

The buses will be deployed in city and suburban traffic in the Cologne area. The delivery of Scania’s OmniLink city buses will include a service and repair commitment. The buses satisfy the emission requirements of Euro 5 and EEV, and they are equipped with adjustable instrument panels that meet the requirements of the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV).

Transdev is Europe’s fourth-largest, privately-owned bus operator with operations in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The company also operates in Australia and Canada. Transdev transports more than 2 billion passengers annually on more than 16,000 buses. In 2009, the company’s turnover was 3.57 billion euros.
