Tarn: The mobility of the future are preparing in Albi<

Encourage innovative mobility respectful of the environment while opening them up to as many people as possible.This bet, the Occitanie region hired him on several fronts as Carole Delga said on Monday at Safra headquarters on Monday, "a symbolic company of transport and mobility for the future.»»

Hydrogen bus of which SAFRA is the French number 1, soon hydrogen coach, renovation of TER Lio trains, SAFRA is at the heart of these mobility.

The Tarnaise company, for example, won the renovation market of 19 TER trains.“We have done everything from the floor to the ceiling.There will be no more first class, the number of places increases by 20%, travelers will be able to load their laptop or smartphone, they will travel in better conditions of comfort in nine -time trains… ”lists Vincent Lemaire,The president of Safra, satisfied to see his business reconnect with his core business of renovation but on the unprecedented segment of the rail.The issue is important for his business: if his teams have had six weeks to treat the first train, they will only have three weeks to renovate the other trains.

Trains in which young Occitans will take place aged 18 to 26.They will benefit from April for 2000 of them then from September for all, free TER (read below). "Quality trains, suitable schedules, punctuality and attractive rates"Summarizes Carole Delga.

In a region large as a country, the train is one of the major keys to mobility.And it works.Last summer, no less than 1.2 million tickets at € 1 found takers.

Occitania is the only region where rail traffic has increased.The region and the SNCF want to continue on this dynamic.

Tarn : les mobilités du futur se préparent à Albi

"More trains, better trains," sums up Philippe Bru, the regional director of the SNCF.The train is an economical and ecological solution.It will be obvious to take the train, "he hopes. Other users of everyday journeys are not to be outdone.

Employees see the price of their subscription be capped at € 90 per month, half of which are taken care of by the employer."It comes back to a € 1 trip" explains Philippe Bru.

The mobility of the future also go through hydrogen that Safra now masters thanks to Businova.The bus that rejects only water vapor is installed in the French landscape of public transport.More and more agglomerations choose the Businova to make urban trips as neutral as possible in ecological matters.A start on which Safra, which will enlarge its 7,000 m2 factory, hopes to build its industrial growth.


Free train for 18-26 year olds

"+= 0". The formula will hit the bull's eye with 18-26 year olds? Whatever their status (high school students, students, apprentices, employees, unemployed ...) they will gradually have access to the free TER. And this on all the trips and lines of Occitania. How it works ? The first five back and forth are at a rate of 50% and from the 6th round trip, the traveler under 26 will be able to circulate for free on the network during the rest of the month. Finally, from the 11th round trip, he credits a "mobility account" which will allow him to garner the journeys that will automatically grant him free the following month. To do this, it will be enough to download an application and register. On each trip, you will have to click. The young volunteers can register from February 22 on the site www.ter.sncf.com/occitanie. The first 2000 registered will test the measure from April 1. This gratuity will be generalized in September and could affect 5,000 young or more. "The more you travel, the less expensive it is. Beyond 15 trips by less, it is free the following month "sums up Philippe Bru, the regional director of the SNCF.

Hydrogen buses

Carole Delga confirmed this Monday that she was going to rewrite to Arnaud Leroy, the president of Ademe to offer her to create a company with regions.The objective: to serve as a support for the purchase of hydrogen coaches to then make them available to communities or large companies that have fleets.

"A hydrogen coach costs two or three times more than a diesel bus," said Carole Delga.This will develop a market.An experiment will be carried out over fifteen Lio Cars.Beyond that, it is a real sector that the initiative would help to create, we speak here of "reindustrialisation, industrial sovereignty.For his part, Vincent Lemaire, the president of Safra believes a lot in this hydrogen cars project.

The bet is daring since it goes through retroftation, that is to say an evolution of existing diesel cars in hydrogen bus.We must change the engine, the exhaust, review the transmission ... There is no shortage of technical developments.

“Rolling a bus which must accomplish 400 to 500 kilometers per day on battery does not work.With hydrogen you can refuel in a quarter of an hour, "details Vincent Lemaire who expects a year of research and development to technically adapt technology before starting a lot of regulatory work.

The production could start next.The potential market in the 23 French regions is enormous.
