Transport for London
This week the Transport for London (TfL) revealed its plans for the future of public transit by detailing 20 all-new electric tram buses that can recharge in as little as 10 minutes. Combining new technology with older train and tram electrification allows these buses to run almost non-stop.
The new emission-free electric buses from Irizar reportedly run along the 358 route from Crystal Palace to Orpington. If you live between those streets, soon you’ll be able to hop aboard.
According to the Mayor of London, these are a game-changer. That’s because these aren’t your typical EV that need to stop and plug in for a while to recharge the battery. Instead, a novel system will recharge them from above, during bus route stops, in as little as 10 minutes.
Game-changing.
As a part of our commitment to making London greener for everyone, @TfL are introducing 20 new emission-free electric buses in 2023—and they only take 10 minutes to charge.
I look forward to seeing these new buses in action. https://t.co/XLMf6yJ66r
