The Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Singapore received 21 bids for a tender to purchase 660 electric buses. The goal is to have half of the public bus fleet operating on batteries by 2030. Bidders include companies like Alexander Dennis, Volvo, BYD, Yutong, Wrightbus, Jeti Industries, and local suppliers like Cycle & Carriage Automotive, ST Engineering, Eurokars, and Alpine Motors.
The tender, initiated in March and closed on June 26, is for 360 three-door single-deck buses and 300 three-door double-deckers to be delivered by the end of 2027. This will increase the total number of electric buses in Singapore to 1,140. LTA aims to purchase over 2,000 electric buses by 2030 to meet its target.
Singapore introduced its first 60 electric buses in 2018 for evaluation and made a significant move in 2023 by purchasing 360 new electric buses. The transition to electric buses is part of the government's plan to reduce land transport emissions by 80% by 2050, aligning with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by the middle of the century.
