Stockholm, Sweden 042 - Low emissions public transport/Transporte público "limpio"

Recommended View On Black, large - Recomendado Ver en Fondo Negro, grande

Since November 2007, Stockholm adds 10 new buses with 3G technology that cuts carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional diesel motors

Stockholm Transport (SL) is taking delivery of 10 Scania buses featuring the company's third generation of ethanol engines - technology which can cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 per cent compared to conventional diesel motors.

Public transport buses in central Stockholm have only run on ethanol or biogas for a number of years -- including some 400 Scania ethanol buses -- and from 2010 onward, SL has decided to buy only buses that operate on renewable fuels.

The transport company for bus traffic in central Stockholm on behalf of SL, Busslink, has more than 15 years' experience of ethanol buses and today has a fleet of 330 ethanol buses in operation.

"The ethanol buses contribute strongly to lower emissions from public transport in Stockholm. They are also an economically viable alternative to diesel buses in terms of operating cost and reliability," said Per Wikström Vice President and Environmental Director of Busslink in conjunction with the presentation of the keys to the first bus.

Scania's new ethanol engines already meet the European Union's Euro 5 emission standards - which become mandatory in 2009 - and the even tighter EEV standards without exhaust aftertreatment. Their technology is based on exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

Scania was recently selected as a "preferred supplier" by the Clinton Climate Initiative, CCI, with the public transport system in Stockholm regarded as a model for the rest of the 40 cities that cooperate within the framework of CCI.

Desde noviembre de 2007, Estocolmo añade 10 nuevos autobuses con tecnología de tercera generación que recorta las emisiones de dióxido de carbono en hasta un 90% en comparación con los motores diesel convencionales

Estocolmo Transportes (SL) está tomando la entrega de 10 autobuses Scania con la tercera generación de motores de etanol - tecnología que puede reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono hasta en un 90 por ciento en comparación con los motores diesel convencionales.

El transporte público de autobuses en el centro de Estocolmo sólo funciona con etanol o biogás desde hace varios años - entre ellos unos 400 autobuses Scania a etanol - y desde 2010 en adelante, SL ha decidido comprar sólo los autobuses que operan en combustibles renovables.

La empresa de transporte de tráfico de autobuses en el centro de Estocolmo en nombre de SL, Busslink, cuenta con más de 15 años de experiencia de operación de los autobuses a etanol y actualmente cuenta con una flota de 330 autobuses a etanol en operación.

"Los autobuses a etanol contribuirán en gran medida a una disminución de las emisiones del transporte público en Estocolmo. También son una alternativa económicamente viable para los autobuses diesel en términos de costo de funcionamiento y fiabilidad", dijo Per Wikström Vice Presidente y Director de Medio Ambiente de Busslink en relación con la entrega de las llaves del primer autobús.

Los nuevos motores Scania de etanol ya cumplen con las normas de emisión de la Unión Europea Euro 5 -que pasarán a ser obligatorias en 2009 - y las normas VEM incluso más estrictas, sin postratamiento de gases de escape. Su tecnología se basa en la recirculación de gases de escape (EGR).

Scania fue recientemente seleccionado como un "proveedor preferente" de la Iniciativa Clinton del Clima, ICC, con el sistema de transporte público en Estocolmo considerado como un modelo para el resto de las 40 ciudades que cooperan en el marco de la ICC.

    El punto de vista ,elegido cuidadosamente, hace aparecer al bus como un gigante entre las flores , el cutout refuerza la idea , el fondo escogido da tridimensionalidad y compensa el encuadre .......... una obra maestra
