Greener Kiruna: how We Work with Sustainable Transport

Kiruna is undergoing a unique transformation—not just geographically, but also in how we travel. At Kirunabuss, we are proud to be part of this transition. Our vision is clear: we want to make Kiruna a greener city where sustainable transport is a given.

Electrification of the Vehicle Fleet

A key part of our environmental efforts is the transition to electric vehicles. Today, a growing portion of our bus fleet consists of electric buses, contributing to both reduced carbon emissions and quieter urban environments. We collaborate with regional partners to ensure that the charging infrastructure grows in line with our electric bus program.

Renewable Fuels

For vehicles that cannot yet be fully electrified, we use renewable fuels like HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil). This is a concrete step towards reducing our climate impact today.

Smarter Routes and Digital Solutions

We use digital technology to optimize our schedules and routes—not just to save fuel, but also to improve punctuality and the passenger experience. Through real-time data and connected vehicles, we can adjust traffic according to needs and reduce unnecessary empty runs.

Sustainability Together with Kiruna Residents

We know that the transition doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That’s why we actively work to inform and involve Kiruna residents in our sustainability efforts. Through campaigns, school collaborations, and open dialogues, we want to encourage more people to choose public transport—an easy and effective way to reduce their own climate impact.

A Future We Build Together

For us at Kirunabuss, sustainability is not a side project—it’s the core of our business. We believe in a future where transport solutions are both modern and environmentally friendly, and where we can all breathe a little cleaner air. Together, we create a greener Kiruna.
