ECO LABEL for buses

The aim is to reduce pollutant emissions and noise disturbances caused by buses, especially in metropolitan, urban and special protection areas.

Municipalities using low-noise buses make an important contribution to health protection. Therefore, the noise of a moving vehicle must comply with the legal noise limits. These limits will be further reduced from 2020.

Strict exhaust and particulate emission limits must be followed to reduce air pollutants The requirements correspond to legal standards for reducing exhaust emissions and require the use of highly efficient exhaust aftertreatment systems.

Hybrid drive electric buses and buses must meet the quality and safety requirements for the rechargeable traction battery to be certified with ECO LABEL. The interchangeability and long-term availability of batteries and accumulators used in buses should be guaranteed.

Halogen-free refrigerants are expected to be used for air conditioning of buses from 2020.

The noise of ECO LABEL certified buses has been reduced, availability of long-lasting batteries or spare batteries; and It has environmentally friendly features such as low emission vehicle surface coating.
