Environmental Protection

Can environmental protection and transportation coexist? We say "yes"! As the company responsible for public transportation in Oberhausen, we offer buses and trams as an alternative to private motorized transport! We are modernizing our fleet, using lower-emission vehicles, and further expanding the use of alternative drive systems. And you can support us in this: Just hop on board! 

Buses and trams can produce lower CO₂ emissions per passenger kilometer than car journeys, provided they are operating at sufficient capacity. Actual figures depend on factors such as vehicle type, occupancy, and specific operating conditions. Our bus fleet is modernized every year. A large proportion of our vehicles meet modern emissions standards or are equipped with exhaust aftertreatment systems. We also use vehicles with alternative drive systems that operate with zero local emissions. Furthermore, many of our vehicles have been awarded the Blue Angel ecolabel.  

But beyond the topic of transportation, we see it as our ongoing challenge to advocate for the responsible use of resources and for a livable and sustainable environment. In 2004 and 2026, STOAG was awarded the ÖKOPROFIT certification (Ökoprojekt für Integrierte UmweltTechnik – Ecological Project for Integrated Environmental Technology). The continuous improvement of our environmental measures is central to STOAG's core values.
