Keolis launches second 100% electric BRT line in France
Keolis has launched a second all-electric Bus Rapid Transit line on the French Basque Coast. The e-BRT is part of the Chronoplus transport network, linking Tarnos to Bayonne. The SMPBA (Syndicat des Mobilités Pays Basque Adour) operates the route.
The new line is ten kilometres long, has 24 stations and is served by seven electric Irizar articulated buses. For Kéolis, it is the second such venture since opening a zero-emission service between Bayonne and Biarritz in 2019. Now over 40% of the journeys on the Chronoplus network will be made on electric vehicles.
