INTERCONNECTED MOBILITY
Stuttgart has been e-mobile since the launch of its tramway in 1895. For years, SSB has promoted sustainable transportation concepts and worked towards a sustainable vehicle fleet. Today, there are electrically powered buses, vans and cars with this low-emission technology in daily use. SSB attaches particular importance to the qualification of all of its employees when new types of vehicles are being introduced, and to the integration of these modern vehicles into existing maintenance processes. Another step towards the emission-reducing operation of buses is the usage of hybrid buses employing fuel cell technology, starting from the fourth quarter 2013. The project Stuttgart Services accelerates the cross-linking of e-mobile services. Together with its partners, SSB is developing an access mediumthat will give users the opportunity to explore and enjoy the city: the Stuttgart Service Card. It is planned to become key to the city and region of Stuttgart, providing access to e-mobile ser-vices in public transportation, (e-mobile) car-sharing, public swimming pools and libraries. It even includes a payment function. Using local public transport means ecological transport and saving energy - this is what SSB stands for. With its commitment to electric mobility SSB has once again demonstrated its ecological and innovative strategy and its mission to provide expeditiously its passengers the comfort of the latest technology.
