Singapore continues to expand the electrification of its public bus fleet, with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announcing a new investment of 164 million SGD for electric buses last Saturday (11/25). This marks the highest single procurement record, including the construction of bus charging stations, bringing the total amount to 212.5 million SGD.
In 2018, the LTA invested 50 million SGD to purchase 60 electric buses as part of a pilot program to test this new technology. With the additional investment, the fleet of electric buses has now reached 420 vehicles, accounting for approximately 7% of the total bus fleet.
