Until the depot opens on June 14, the buses will, as before, depart from Rosenlund in Jönköping.
The new depot in Ljungarum will have larger staff rooms and there will be space to park and service up to 150 vehicles.
From the start, however, the vehicle fleet consists of approximately 100 buses.
When Jönköping's county traffic now completes the new bus depot, the focus will be on the work environment and sustainability.
- We use durable woods in frames and walls.
The buses will be washed with rainwater that we collect and on the roof we have solar cells so we can charge our vehicles with self-produced electricity, says Charles Tholin, who is a business developer at Jönköping County Transport.
- Drivers can expect bright and fresh rooms with a gym and plenty of changing rooms and toilets.
Powered by electricity and biogas
50 percent of bus traffic will run on electricity and the remaining 50 percent will be powered by biogas.
For passengers, the new traffic will be noticeable as the electric buses on the main line are completely silent.
- This is something we have longed for for a very long time, especially to be able to grow in city traffic.
We have been crowded for many years so this means a lot to be able to provide the traffic that Jönköping deserves.
With this, we will take bus traffic into the future, says Charles Tholin.
