End poverty in all its form everywhere

SDG 1 – No poverty

Reliable and effective transport systems are a prerequisite for inclusive development and poverty alleviation.

Bus Rapid Transit systems (BRT) is an example of  a transport system that positively contributes to economic and social development while being an environmentally smart solution to issues such as congestion or pollution.

 

In Abidjan, the capital of the Ivory Coast, Scania has been working since 2019 with the city’s transport company SOTRA and the Ivorian Ministry of Transport, to transform the public transport system and address traffic chaos and air pollution.

 

The project involves delivering hundreds of biofuel-powered buses, as well as planning a new depot and supporting the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), including traffic management, ticketing and a passenger information system.

 

The Abidjan example shows how biofuel-powered transport can change lives for the better: reducing traffic, cutting air pollution, providing jobs and decreasing our climate impact using a solution that’s available right now
