The Intelligent Electric Bus in Vitoria consists of the implementation of a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) line in the peripheral line 2 of the bus network operated by TUVISA in Vitoria.  Line 2 is a strategic line as it links key points in the city such as the Txagorritxu Hospital, the University, the Mendizorrotza sports facilities, the Boulevard Shopping Centre, the Bus Station and the Basque Government.

It is a transport system based on a "tramarised" electric bus, i.e. with the characteristics and advantages of a tramway, namely: a dedicated and exclusive lane, traffic light priority, stops with universal accessibility and bus level access, ticket issuing and cancellation at the stop, passenger information system and operating assistance system.

The line is 10.3 km long and 23 stops have been installed for each of the two directions of traffic.  The stops are similar to those of trams, with stainless steel shelters and laminated, tempered glass, photovoltaic panels on the roof, technical block (with ticket dispenser and information panel), Minutran block (indicating waiting time and identifying the service and the line), ticket cancellation, advertising OPI with information screen and signage and graphics.

The buses are 100% electric, 18-metre articulated buses (100 passengers) and 12-metre regular buses (65 passengers).  They have 3 information LED screens and USB chargers.  They are equipped with an automatic guide system and driver assistance at stops. The rear-view mirrors are cameras, not mirrors.

Buses are charged in "slow" mode in depots during the night and in "fast" mode by means of a pantograph installed on the roof of the bus which connects to a pole with a cantilevered arm where the charging is carried out. The chargers are located at the Boulevard and Mendizirrotza stops, which are diametrically opposite each other on the peripheral route.

KREAN executed the urbanisation and bus stop projects and subsequently was part of the UTE IEB 0 EMISIONES, awarded the contract for the "Project, Infrastructures, Supply, Commissioning and Maintenance of an Intelligent Electric Bus (IEB) system in Vitoria-Gasteiz".

KREAN's work involved the development of the construction project (including urban development, bus stops, electrical connections, telecommunications, traffic lights, ticket sales and cancellation and vehicle supply), the role of Technical Office during the works and the drafting of the Project Completion Report.  KREAN was also in charge of the Design, Construction, Supply and Assembly of the bus stop shelters.

The partners of the UTE IEB 0 EMISIONES were YARRITU, S.A., which was in charge of the execution of the work, and IRIZAR E-MOBILITY, which manufactured and supplied the electric buses and took responsibility for their maintenance for 15 years.
