Stockholm, Sweden – Keolis has been awarded a bus contract worth €190 million by Nordjyllands Trafikselskab (NT), the public transport authority of the Northern Jutland region in north-western Denmark. The contract will start in August 2021 and involves operation and maintenance of 77 buses of which 67 has to be fully fossilfree on alternative fuels. For this Keolis already ordered 65 Scania buses. They will run on two bus networks serving 500,000 people in the city of Aalborg and nearby towns. Keolis will welcome 75 new employees with this contract.
The two networks connect all towns in Northern Jutland with Aalborg, the region’s capital, as well as the university, a major hospital, due to open in 2022, and an airport for domestic and international flights. The network features 25 lines, one main depot and 14 smaller ones, for parking, washing and refuelling vehicles.
Keolis will renew the existing fleet, operate and maintain 67 buses from August 2021 to August 2031 and also operation and maintenance of an additional 10 buses from August 2021 to August 2026. The 77 buses, including 65 new Scania-made buses, will travel nearly 10 million kilometres a year, with 67 running on renewable energies. 32 of the Scania-made buses will operate as express-line buses and will have wifi and power outlets.
This renewed partnership with NT expands Keolis’ 13-year presence in Northern Jutland. The Group operates around 500 buses in 10 Danish cities as well as the first light rail network of the country in Aarhus and will soon start running a second light rail network in Odense.
