Let's Chat About Hamburg's Green Bussies!
Cost-cutting measures for e-buses: road authorities rethink approach, leaning toward utilizing rendered animal fat as an economical alternative
🌱 Hamburg's HVV (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund) is leveling up the eco-friendliness of their electric buses (E-buses). How, you ask? By using French fry oil!
That's right, the cooked oil left over from everyone's favorite snack is getting a second life as a biofuel component. By converting it into a type of biodiesel, HVV is keeping the planet happy while reducing their carbon footprint.
But wait, there's more! To account for any potential hiccups with this new fuel source, HVV has created a "risk reserve" fund. This safety net covers any possible disruptions in the supply or quality of the French fry oil biodiesel or operational risks associated with integrating this alternative fuel into the bus fleet. It's all about ensuring a smooth and secure ride for passengers!
Now, to sweeten the deal, HVV has teamed up with MOPO+ (a cool Hamburg news and lifestyle platform) to promote this green initiative. MOPO+ is offering a pretty sweet Black Week Deal, where new customers can snag a subscription for just 1 € and enjoy access to all M+ articles with less ads! Plus, after the introductory offer, you'll only pay 7.90 € every 4 weeks. Singer, songwriter, and eco-friendly public transportation, here we come!
If you're already a MOPO+ subscriber, don't worry— they've also got you covered with a fantastic 1-year deal for 52 €. That's just 1 € a week! With this super deal, you'll get access to all M+ articles with less ads, and in the second year, you'll only pay 79 €.
So there you have it, folks! Hamburg's E-buses are getting a tasty makeover, all while keeping the environment in mind. And, with the help of MOPO+, it's easier than ever to hop aboard and do your part for the planet! 🌍🏃♀️🚌
Embracing the eco-concious 'lifestyle', HVV's home-and-garden of electric buses is undergoing a transformation with sustainable living practices. By using French fry oil as a biofuel component, HVV is not only setting an example for public transportation but also promoting eco-friendly initiatives through partnerships with platforms like MOPO+, offering a cost-effective home for news, lifestyle, and sustainable living insights.
