Sustainable Bus

Sustainable Bus is a guiding light for the future of transportation. Sustainable Bus is the only global media outlet dedicated entirely to clean buses and sustainability within public transportation. It is part of the Vado e Torno Edizioni publishing house and covers a range of topics including product updates, tenders, experiences, case studies, market trends, international trade shows, and conferences. Sustainable Bus operates as a network, featuring a website that is continuously updated with the latest news, weekly newsletters, and active social media channels to cater to a wide audience. It proudly partners with organizations like UITP, Busworld, and the Zero Emission Bus Conference. Launched in 2018, Sustainable Bus emerged during a critical time marked by urbanization and climate change, both of which challenge public transport systems to adapt. The industry is undergoing a transformation that necessitates a new approach. For future societies to be sustainable, they must ensure access to efficient mobility and cleaner air. This transition involves embracing alternative fuels, including fully electric, hybrid, CNG, LNG, biogas, and fuel cell technologies, which can significantly reduce vehicle emissions. However, true success will depend on ensuring sustainability throughout the entire process, from production to energy sourcing.
