«With government financing, environmentally friendly conversions are also affordable for smaller companies.»

_{Utz-Jens Beister — Managing Director of IAV Cars GmbH}

The “IAV Elcty” electric parts set enables existing MAN SD 200 and SD 202 double-decker buses to be converted from diesel to a modern and highly efficient electric drive and can generally also be integrated into new vehicles.

Stadtrundfahrt Dresden GmbH was the first customer to receive a funding commitment in July 2022 as part of the first funding call from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). The Dresden sightseeing company's first vehicles have already been converted to electric drive.

The deadline for submitting funding applications is September 10th

In the second funding round of the BMDV, funding applications with the E-parts set from IAV were also successfully submitted. The Berlin technology company supports interested parties in submitting applications and is also available to provide advice if they have any questions about installing the electronic parts set.

The application deadline for funding outlines as part of the BMDV's third call for funding for buses with alternative and resource-saving drives in passenger transport is Sunday, September 10, 2023. The funds will be awarded on the basis of an EU funding guideline.

The conversion makes the climate footprint of the converted vehicles more sustainable in two respects: In addition to locally CO2-free driving, the retrofit saves a large part of the CO2 emissions that arise when a vehicle is newly produced and disposed of.
