Government creates support up to 4.5 million for zero-emission buses in Alentejo Litoral

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 14:50

The Government created a financial support program of up to 4.5 million euros for the acquisition of zero-emission buses in Alentejo Litoral. This measure aims to promote the transition to more sustainable public transport in the region.

The incentives are specifically intended for the purchase of electric or hydrogen buses, two zero-emission technologies. These vehicles will be used for collective public transport in Alentejo Litoral.

The funding comes from the Just Transition Fund, a financial instrument designed to support regions facing challenges in the transition to a greener and more sustainable economy. This fund is especially targeted at areas that need support to achieve environmental objectives.

Why this matters

The inhabitants of Alentejo Litoral will benefit from a modernization of the public transport network with cleaner vehicles, funded by European funds. The program represents an opportunity for transport operators in the region to access significant subsidies for the fleet transition, following the sector's decarbonization targets.
