Solar at Eberhardt: From building roofs to vehicle roofs
About Eberhardt-Reisen
Operating scheduled bus routes and charter coach travel from the Black Forest since 1931, Eberhardt-Reisen is one of Europe’s oldest tour operators and runs a fleet of 180+ city and intercity buses and coaches. Eberhardt-Reisen’s headquarters and workshop in Engelsbrand already run almost entirely on solar power – and now they are starting to power their buses with solar too.

Diesel; HVO100 + solar combination
Challenge
Eberhardt-Reisen was looking for ways to reduce fuel costs and further cut CO2 emissions across its fleet.
Solution
Eberhardt-Reisen fitted 10 Iveco Crossway LE buses with Green Energy 760 Wp solar systems — 5 at its Engelsbrand headquarters, 5 at its Gaggenau depot. The Gaggenau buses also run on HVO100, so combined with solar, CO2 emissions are extremely low.
Reliable Power on Every Route
TESTIMONIAL
“Our headquarters and workshop are almost entirely self-sufficient in solar energy, so why not install solar panels from Green Energy on our buses as well? Although we only recently equipped 10 public buses with Green Energy’s solar systems, the results are already impressive.”
