Electric Bus Test In Operation In Snow Space Salzburg

For several years, the Snow Space Salzburg Bergbahnen have been working intensively on the topic of how environmentally friendly skiing can take place on the basis of ecological criteria.

One pillar of the sustainability strategy is the reduction of the company's own CO2 footprint. In order to be able to identify meaningful data for further action steps, the mountain railways, together with an independent institute, analyzed the energy consumption using the example of the 2019/20 winter season. The surveys show that the ski bus operation causes a large proportion of CO2 emissions.

In order to enable guests to travel to and from the valley stations of the cable cars as comfortably as possible, Snow Space Salzburg operates over 20 ski bus lines in the towns of Flachau, Wagrain, St. Johann and the surrounding communities. With the use of new drive technologies in the in-house vehicle fleet, one hopes to be able to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Extensive tests are currently being carried out for this purpose with the electric bus models available on the market.
