After ÜSTRA had been using hybrid buses for several years, the first fully electric buses from Solaris followed in 2016, marking the first milestone on the road to decarbonizing bus transport in Hanover. In 2020, the first eCitaro followed, increasingly displacing the electric Urbinos. These buses were rarely used, not least because of their susceptibility to failure. The era of the three electric dachshunds 9601 - 9603 is now completely over: 9603 was the first to go in the fire at the Mittelfeld depot. The use of 9601 and 9602 had a less tragic end. These have since been decommissioned by ÜSTRA and are now waiting for their future in Mittelfeld. New videos from the bus are available at the beginning of each month.
