Various municipalities are implementing sustainable public transport initiatives through the introduction of low-emission vehicle fleets.

In Modena, SETA has introduced 12 hydrogen fuel cell urban buses as part of a decarbonization project. This initiative, involving a total investment of approximately 12 million euros, includes the construction of a specialized facility for hydrogen storage, compression, and refueling. The transition is projected to save approximately 737 tons of CO2.

In Morelia, the Morebús system is modernizing its fleet with the acquisition of 74 Yutong H12 hybrid units. The Michoacán government aims to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions while improving urban mobility. This project also includes infrastructure improvements such as intelligent traffic lights, surveillance cameras, and secure pedestrian crossings.
