Since 2016, progressive electrification of bus routes reached a total of 8 full-electric lines in 2021, and additional 6 will be electrified with soon-to-be commissioned 51 new battery electric buses.
KVB´s (Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe AG) goal is to have an emission-free bus fleet by 2030. With the end of this decade all diesel buses will be substituted by e-buses. In 2023 Cologne will have 118 battery buses in service.
