Strategic Plan of Innovative Fuels
In recent years, following the environmental policies promoted by the City of Barcelona, TMB (main public transport operator of Barcelona) has made great efforts to develop and implement a plan of improvement and progressive replacement of the bus fleet to clean fuel, approaching the ultimate goal of zero emissions.
Within this Strategic Plan of Innovative Fuels, TMB is working in different action lines:
• Use of CNG fuel vehicles
• R&D project related with the conversion of Diesel and CNG vehicles to hybrid technology
• Test of 100% electrical vehicles
• Improvement of current actual vehicles with Particle s’ and NOx ’s filters installation

Relationship TMB – Bus vehicles industry
Characteristics:
• Very closed market (Industry and buyers know each other very well).
• UITP is a platform that allows stakeholders to be closer.
• The interchange of new development and market necessities is very fluent.
• The big buyers (more than 100 vehicles per year) are quite well listen by industry.
• This moment is very important: huge technological changes in the power train!

Procedure: Competitive Dialogue
Needs: 7 buses for 2016.
Bus routes: 120 (2 buses), 121 (2 buses) and 114 (3 buses) bus route.
Forecast: TMB has a fleet of 48 minibuses and expects to substitute 60%
for a low carbon emissions minibuses (probably electric powertrain).
New procedure to purchase Minibuses
Current Situation
Process is currently in Stand-by Status
• The results of the previous purchase project (Electric High Capacity Buses) is not finished.
• This previous project should help to define the best technical solution for the in-line quick-charge solution and that is not clear in this moment
• Other issues gain positions in the budget priority list
