Kleanbus reveals a conversion program to turn diesel buses into electric ones, at one fifth the cost of a new EV bus.UK startup Kleanbus reveals conversion program for diesel buses, offering to turn them into electric buses in a two-week process.
It's safe to say that most of the focus on vehicle electrification in the US is still aimed at personal vehicles, with a number of automakers making a push to make electric cars commonplace, as some sit on the sidelines. But in the focus on making the rates of EV adoption inch higher in depressingly tiny increments, the category of public transit has been largely overlooked.
"The potential for repowered buses is huge," said Joe Tighe, co-founder and CEO of Kleanbus."They could bring about fully electric bus fleets six years earlier than relying on roll out of new zero-emission buses alone." "With 97% of UK buses powered by diesel engines that emit large amounts of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, and particulate matter—and a staggering 35,000 of them on the road—the country faces a major challenge to rapidly decarbonize this vital transport sector and is struggling to move quickly enough."
