Renewal of the bus fleet with superior environmental and energy performance buses Project
Name | Renewal of the bus fleet with superior environmental and energy performance buses
Project code | POSEUR-01-1407-FC-000019
Main aim | To support the transition to a low-carbon economy
Area of intervention | Lisbon Metropolitan Area
Beneficiary | Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa, E.M., S.A.
Date of approval | 10/07/2017
Start date | 01/07/2017
End date | 31/03/2021
Total eligible cost | EUR 14.717.441,33
European Union financial support | Cohesion Fund - EUR 11.636.483,72
Aims, activities and expected results | The aim of the operation is to:
- Leverage an integrated mobility policy in terms of transport, public space, parking and
policing;
- To provide the Lisbon Metropolitan Area with a more accessible, more reliable, more comfortable
and more sustainable public transport system;
- To attract more passengers to public transport, ensuring a transfer from individual transport to
public transport and active mobility.
To this end, CARRIS intends to acquire 180 new buses powered by more efficient energy sources
and with superior environmental and energy performance, such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
and electricity. In addition, it will be investing in the construction and installation of the support
system for the operation of this new fleet. Thus, it will establish a CNG supply infrastructure in the
Miraflores Complex, in Oeiras, and an electric charging station located in Lisbon.
CARRIS intends to achieve the following goals with the implementation of this operation:
- A reduction in overall pollutant emissions from its fleet of public service vehicles;
- A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through the 180 new vehicles in its fleet;
- Primary energy savings compared to the primary energy used before carrying out the operation to replace the vehicles with 100% electric-powered buses, as well as other energy savings.

Main aim | To support the transition to a low-carbon economy
Area of intervention | Lisbon Metropolitan Area
Beneficiary | Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa, E.M., S.A.
Date of approval | 30/06/2018
Start date | 01/12/2018
End date | 31/03/2021
Total eligible cost | EUR 243.100,34
European Union financial support | Cohesion Fund – EUR : 97.240,14
Aims, activities and expected results | The aim of the operation is to:
- Consolidate a more sustainable energy consumption standard through investment in lowcarbon and efficiency at all levels, including in the transport area;
- Promote efficient fleets, as well as the implementation of mobility plans and consumption
rationalisation measures on public transport;
- Contribute to local low-carbon measures, particularly the development of local low-carbon
plans, low-carbon measures in urban requalification and support for sustainable mobility
equipment and infrastructures, in order to improve competitiveness and the associated services.
To this end, CARRIS intends to acquire 100 new energy efficiency modules and 195 driver graphical consoles, as well as a technological upgrade of 95 modules previously installed (given that the current solutions don’t provide for any real-time interaction with the drivers).
CARRIS intends to achieve the following goals with the implementation of this operation:
- Savings in primary energy compared to the primary energy used before carrying out the operation to
replace the vehicles with 100% electric-powered buses, as well as other energy savings;
- A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
