The safety of our passengers is our top priority: that's why we are taking part in the "Safe journeys on the hvv" campaign. From now on, you as our passenger can choose the shortest and safest route in the evening hours and get off between two bus stops. It is important that you inform our driver of your stop request shortly before you want to get off. The driver will then decide whether the desired stop is possible, taking into account all relevant safety aspects. You will get off the bus at the front. You can find all further information about the campaign here.

We not only take responsibility for mobility, but also for the people in our region. With our Christmas donation to the regional food banks and hospices, we want to consciously set an example - for humanity, care and solidarity. Support for the food banks: giving hope - close at hand The food banks do a tremendous job every day: they rescue food, provide for those in need and create places of encounter - right in the heart of our neighbourhood. Countless volunteers work with heart, dedication and tireless commitment to support people in difficult situations. We say thank you! With our donation, we would like to honour this valuable work and make it visible. Because the food banks are far more than just distribution centres - they are places of humanity. ????

Soltauer Tafel Stader Tafel Donation to hospices: Dignity at the end of life Hospices support people with serious illnesses in their final phase of life - attentively, respectfully and with a lot of heart. Their work is often done in silence, but it deserves our loudest thanks. Because they are there when it counts the most: for those affected, their relatives and a dignified last journey. Our Christmas donation also goes to these organisations to support their important work - emotionally, socially and financially. ????

The new hvv Prepaid Card in Hamburg offers the option of cashless ticket purchases. Now this is also possible on our buses. In addition to the popular ticket purchase via app, a further cashless sales channel is now offered. In contrast to the buses in Hamburg, however, the option of buying tickets in cash will remain available until further notice despite the introduction of sales via prepaid cards. This allows maximum flexibility for passengers. The hvv Prepaid Card offers the advantage of being able to travel flexibly, cashlessly and without registration through the hvv. Important: the card itself is not available from the bus driver, but from numerous retail co-operation partners. There, the card can be topped up with any amount and later recharged. Further information on the hvv Prepaid Card and its points of sale can be found on the hvv website here.

We were delighted to present our first four electric buses in the district of Stade. We were able to present the new environmentally friendly vehicles at a press event together with representatives from politics, business and our company. The presentation was attended by Michael Fastert and Jan Behrendt from our management team as well as District Administrator Kai Seefried and District Councillor Thorsten Heinze. Other guests included Kai-Ulrich Baak and Inken Montzka from the district of Stade, Ottmar Heinen and Dr Rainer Gärtner from eMIS and Karsten Leist from Verkehrsgesellschaft Nord-Ost-Niedersachsen mbH (VNO). Clean mobility for all With the new and eye-catching electric buses, we are not only focussing on environmentally friendly technology, but are also actively contributing to improving the quality of life in our region. The buses will be used throughout the district of Stade and are therefore a visible sign of the change in mobility. This is made possible by federal funding from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport's (BMDV) programme to promote alternative drive systems in passenger transport and with financial support from the district of Stade. The project is being subsidised as part of the Special Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF). Funding for this measure is also provided as part of the German Recovery and Resilience Plan (DARP) via the European Recovery and Resilience Facilities (ARF) in the NextGenerationEU programme. The funding guideline is coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by Project Management Jülich (PtJ). The new electric buses: sustainable and innovative The four new electric buses are from the IVECO brand and belong to the E-Way model. This model stands for the highest environmental standards and state-of-the-art electromobility. Range: With a range of up to 300 kilometres per charge, the buses are ideally suited for daily scheduled services. Capacity: They offer space for up to 70 passengers and ensure a pleasant journey with their low-noise drive. Sustainability: CO₂ emissions are reduced to zero thanks to the purely electric drive - a decisive step towards climate-friendly mobility in the district of Stade.
