Nobina adds 27 Scania biogas buses to Skåne regional routes

Twenty-seven new Scania biogas buses are set to join the Skånetrafiken fleet, marking the Swedish debut of the Irizar i4 model. Operated by Nobina, the vehicles will serve the Malmö-Lund and Kristianstad corridors, replacing standard transit options with coaches tailored for longer, quieter, and more sustainable regional travel.

The units are engineered specifically for Skånetrafiken’s requirements, featuring onboard toilets, upgraded seating, and interior configurations designed for passenger comfort. By utilizing locally produced biogas, the operator aims to reduce CO2 emissions while fostering regional energy security. The choice of the Scania Irizar i4 model follows successful deployments across Southern Europe, where similar biogas-powered configurations have become a standard for regional transit.

Helena Ericson, Fleet Manager at Nobina, noted that the decision rests on both environmental goals and the practical necessity of reliable, low-maintenance hardware. The delivery process is managed in partnership with LECAB Lastbilar AB, acting as Irizar’s local representative to ensure technical support from the factory to the road. This expansion deepens the long-term collaboration between the transport authority and Scania, reinforcing a commitment to circular fuel solutions in the Skåne region.
