How Climate Protection Works: E-Center of Wiener Linien Already Awarded Multiple Times
The competence center for e-mobility of Wiener Linien in Siebenhirten has been awarded the Austrian Administration Prize 2025.
Wiener Linien win Austrian Administration Prize for E-Mobility Center
In the category "Ecological Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, and Climate Protection," the project prevailed among more than 100 submissions. The prize is awarded by the Federal Chancellery.
Since 2024, the center has been the new home for 60 e-buses of Wiener Linien. They are charged, maintained, and repaired there. The ecological building impresses with its sustainable construction: parts of the building are made of wood, and the roofs and side surfaces are greened. A photovoltaic system supplies the site with electricity, and the waste heat from the charging systems is used to heat the lounges and workshops.
Building previously awarded klimaaktiv Gold
The building had already been awarded the klimaaktiv standard in Gold – the highest quality mark for sustainable buildings in Austria. With the administration prize, political and administrative recognition is now also added.
Alexandra Reinagl, CEO of Wiener Linien, expressed her delight at the award: "I am proud and grateful for the Austrian Administration Prize. It is a great recognition for sustainable innovation in public transport. This prize shows what is possible when dedicated people work together for an emission-free future."
