the Walloon government is investing 105 million euros in the procurement of electric buses and the associated charging infrastructure
The electrically powered 18 and 24 metre buses will be stationed in Tilleur
a district of Saint-Nicolas in the Walloon province of Liège
The grant of 105 million euros will go towards the procurement of 32 electric buses – specifically 14 articulated buses and 18 double-articulated buses – and the construction of the region’s first electrified bus depot
the depot of the public transport operator TEC (Transport en Commun) is being built in Tilleur
a district of Saint-Nicolas in the province of Liège
the depot will house 33 charging stations – including a fast charging station
a further fast-charging station is to be installed at a terminus so that buses can be temporarily charged during operation
the Mobi’Park will accommodate three of the four busway lines planned in the Liège region
It will be the first electrified depot in Wallonia and the second largest TEC depot
the previous TEC depot in Jemeppe-sur-Meuse will be replaced by the Mobi’Park as it is “unsuitable and outdated”

Belgium is on a mission to achieve a sustainable and&nbsp;emission-free public transport system by 2035. While the Netherlands is making substantial progress, with 35% emission-free buses already in operation, Belgium’s public transport companies, STIB (Brussels), De Lijn (Flanders), and Le TEC (Wallonia), still have work to do to catch up, the article states<a href="https://www.rampini.it/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
Now it&#8217;s time for TEC to make a few steps towards decarbonization of public transport fleet with the new project
&#8220;Mobi&#8217;Park will replace the Jemeppe-sur-Meuse depot
which has become inadequate and dilapidated
It will be the first electrified depot in Wallonia and the second largest TEC depot&#8220;
