| Summary: | This report aims to increase awareness
of effective ways to reduce emissions in the transport
sector by outlining the planning, implementation, and
management of electric buses (e-buses) in the fleet of
Santiago’s public transport system. The study considers the
contribution of e-buses to sustainable mobility and the
methods used to measure associated reductions in emissions,
in addition to the importance of these new technologies in
raising public transport standards and complying with
climate change commitments. Currently, the public transport
system in Santiago is going through a transition to green
technology with the introduction of electric and diesel Euro
VI buses, and toward a new bidding process that aims to
separate the operation of bus services and provision. This
change brings new regulatory challenges, but also
opportunities for the introduction of new technologies. This
report investigates some of the main challenges and
opportunities Santiago and other cities face as they move
toward a cleaner fleet. |
