Transition to electric vehicles for mobility services
For Nobina, it is a matter of course that special public transport services, such as mobility services, healthcare trips and school traffic, should also be as sustainable as possible. We are therefore working hard to accelerate this transition.
In Lund, Telepass, part of Nobina Care, is operating special public transport services using both passenger cars and special vehicles. Since summer 2023, more than half of passenger cars, 13 of 20, have been replaced with electric cars. This means Telepass is ahead of its schedule to meet the contractual requirement of a share of at least 50 percent.
- In Malmö – a few months after starting the contract in spring 2024 – 67 percent of Telepass’s car fleet will be electric, 30 of 45 cars, and the remaining 15 will operate on HVO. The city requires that at least half of the vehicles run on fossil-free fuel.
- In Småland, Telepass will operate special public transport services on behalf of Jönköpings Länstrafik from 1 July 2025, featuring electric vehicles from the very start.
- The electric cars are appreciated by drivers and travellers, not only for the climate benefits but also for the comfort and low noise levels they offer. It is not yet possible to replace all passenger cars with electric cars, due to the limited range for longer journeys during the cold winter months.
On the basis of our traveller promise and our values, Nobina wants to take the lead in raising special public transport services to the same professional level as other public transport, by working together with clients and other stakeholders and influencing the requirements of PTAs and influencing vehicle manufacturers to make special public transport services fossil-free.
