"Construction work at the Regionalbuszentrum Schaffhausen is scheduled to begin on 2 March 2026, as VBSH details on its website. Commissioning and testing are planned for mid-2027, with definitive operations starting in the third quarter of 2027. In parallel, additional overnight charging stations will be installed at the Ebnatring depot hall, with commissioning aligned to the RBZ timeline."
"Verkehrsbetriebe Schaffhausen (VBSH) is the public transport operator responsible for urban and regional bus services in the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The company manages city and regional routes as well as the associated infrastructure, including depot and charging facilities."
"Between 2020 and 2021, twelve fast-charging points were installed along Bahnhofstrasse in Schaffhausen, together with charging infrastructure in the basement of the main post office building to support electric buses operating in urban service. In a subsequent phase, Bahnhofstrasse was redesigned to remove barriers and upgrade the public space."
Verkehrsbetriebe Schaffhausen (VBSH) is electrifying its regional bus network by 2027 following a Mercedes eCitaro supply contract signed in December 2024. Construction at the Regional Bus Centre begins March 2026, with commissioning and testing in mid-2027 and operations starting in Q3 2027. Additional overnight charging stations will be installed at the Ebnatring depot hall. This regional electrification follows earlier urban network investments, including twelve fast-charging points installed on Bahnhofstrasse between 2020-2021 and charging infrastructure at the main post office. The project includes constructing an underground transformer station adjacent to the bicycle station to support the expanded charging network.
