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.

Decarbonisation of the CARRIS bus fleet
Project Name | Decarbonisation of the CARRIS bus fleet
Supporting Organisation | Environmental Fund
The ambition of this project is to continue the energy transition effort of the CARRIS bus fleet, in line with the need to increase the number of vehicles available for service and with the objectives of improving the environmental performance of the fleet, promoting its decarbonisation and reducing local pollutant emissions. It takes the form of the acquisition of 34 new electric buses for the CARRIS fleet, including the respective charging infrastructure, with a view to increasing the resources available to carry out its public transport service mission in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML). These new vehicles include standard buses and mini buses.
The main objective of this operation is to expand the CARRIS fleet in order to help improve public transport services in AML, making them more attractive and competitive compared to individual transport. However, it is specifically intended that this fleet increase be achieved with vehicles that improve their environmental performance, using vehicles with zero local pollutant emissions, better energy efficiency and the potential to use energy produced solely from renewable sources. Thus, compared to operating with diesel vehicles, this investment will reduce GHG emissions by 1,741.63 tonnes of CO2eq per year and energy consumption by 481.30 tep per year.
In addition to these main objectives, the operation will help to reduce vehicle operating costs and meet the expectations of CARRIS clients in terms of improving the environmental performance of the bus fleet.
The investment to be made is €13,188,941.14 and receives financial support from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) and NextGeneration EU funds totalling €6,382,884.40.
