On Dec 15, 2025, Singapores Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced six contracts to acquire 660 new electric buses360 single-deck and 300 double-deck models. These e-buses will roll out from late 2026 as diesel buses reach the end of their statutory lifespan. 🚌⚡
This marks the LTAs first large-scale purchase of electric double-deckers, a game-changer for our skyline and sustainability goals. 🙌
In November, the LTA also issued a tender to install EV charging systems islandwide, ensuring our buses stay powered up and ready to go. 🔌
Under the electrification roadmap, electric buses will account for half of the fleet by 2030, with a fully clean-energy network targeted by 2040. 🌍🍃
Starting Jan 1, 2026, Singapore will offer grants for zero-tailpipe heavy vehicles and expand charging infrastructure for electric trucks. These programs run for three years, helping businesses make the green switch. 💰🚛
For commuters, this means quieter streets, cleaner air, and a smoother, greener ride. Ready to hop on the e-bus revolution? 🚏🎉
