For a more sustainable and habitable world
Our sustainable mobility solutions are transforming our cities and our planet. With no polluting emissions, no noise, efficient and accessible ... the transport of the future is here.
Irizar e-mobility has decided to promote the use of efficient, clean and accessible transport which is committed to the environment and the well-being and health of people and which enables the creation of better urban environments. Particular emphasis is placed on reducing noise pollution, obtaining low consumption which reduces costs and developing zero-emission vehicles. All these objectives serve to highlight the meaning of our motto, “for a better life”.
The ZERO EMISSIONS technology of the electric vehicles eliminates direct emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and toxic substances such as NOx and harmful particulates when operating in urban areas, which contributes to a healthier and more sustainable urban environment.
The electric technology removes the noise of the engine, enabling exterior noise emission when stopped and when starting to be virtually eliminated (0dBA), while the average noise emission of a bus with a conventional combustion engine is 68 dBA.
Zero direct emissions
A 100% electric articulated Irizar bus eliminates the atmospheric emission of 120 tons of CO2 each year.
Noise reduction
The electric technology makes the noise of the combustion engine disappear, which means there are no exterior sound emissions to annoy pedestrians when the bus is stopped and starting (0 dBA). When driving the noise pollution of the Irizar ie bus is 20% lower.
Commitment
Encouraging the commitment of all our personnel regarding these aspects of environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Green energy factory
The total energy consumed by this plant is produced by a photovoltaic energy Centre located in Álava, which makes it the first fully sustainable European energy plant.
Production process
We are making progress in energy efficiency, in optimising waste management and in reducing the environmental impact caused by our business activities and products.
Eco design
Continuous research and development of new bus manufacturing technologies and new materials that mean that we are positioned at the forefront of ecodesign in our sector with environmentally sustainable products.
Eco innovation
Continuous vigilance in our innovation projects in order to replace materials and technologies with new ones that are more environmentally friendly and by using lighter materials and technology to reduce consumption and toxic gas emissions.
Towards an EPD
Irizar is the first company in the world in the sector to begin a project of Environmental Product Declaration which will provide it with data on the impact on global warming and depletion of resources, energy consumption of fossil or renewable resources, pollutant emissions in the manufacture or content of dangerous substances, etc.
Consumption
Responsible energy consumption.
Recyclability
The manufacture of the buses prioritizes the disassembly and recyclability of its components. Vehicle recyclability and recoverability rates are above 90% according to ISO 22628.
The batteries are 99% recyclable in accordance with data from the project funded by the European Commission's - LIFE “RecLionBat” - to develop techniques that enable these types of batteries to be recycled).
The bus has a longer service life and lower maintenance needs.
The inverters and the rest of the components of the traction system of the ie bus have a service life that is equal to or greater than that of the bus; however, this is not the case for combustion vehicles.
