Vienna transit operator Wiener Linien will welcome in September 2025 a batch of 10 fuel cell buses made by Italian manufacturer Rampini, set to circulate in Vienna city centre on lines 2A and 3A. As announced in summer 2024, they will replace the previous Rampini e-minibuses. “Due to the extended range, charging infrastructure in the city centre is no longer necessary and the vehicle fleet for lines 2A and 3A can be reduced from twelve to ten buses”, Rampini points out. Around 60 e-buses, 12 of wich are e-buses by Rampini, are already in operation in Vienna.

The purchase of the battery-hydrogen buses is funded by the EU via the EBIN programme of the Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure.
