| Objectives / Innovative Aspects |
The need for a new fuelling station arose with the expansion of the CNG fleet. The existing fuelling station, implemented in the St Herblain depot on the north west of the urban area, could not accommodate an expanded fleet, and moreover, the bus routes chosen to be equipped with CNG buses are running
on the south east of the area.
|
| The Measure |
The experience gained with Jupiter 2 and the first CNG fuelling station in St Herblain depot enabled Semitan to improve some of the processes. It also
showed that being the owner of the fuelling station would be more economically efficient for UCN.

| Implementation Status |
The implementation of the Gas fuelling station comprises three major stages:
- The works in Civil engineering (tendered mid 2000)
- Compression station
- Workshop safety
At the end 2001 GN Vert/Eurotec was selected by the market commission for the construction of the station, with a work planning starting January 2002 and finishing august 2002. The market was attributed for 152,449 Euro. The compressed gas station was opened up in June 2003.
|
| (Expected) Results |
While awaiting for the definitive fuelling station to be operational, a temporary fuelling station, rented by Semitan has been implemented. This temporary
station enables to operate the buses that have been delivered for training session and to operate routes that will be equipped in September. Gas will be delivered at 16 bars instead of 200 on the previous fuelling station, thus giving access to a real gas “market” tariff.
