SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Monday (Dec 15) that it has purchased 660 new electric buses, which will progressively be deployed for passenger service from end-2026.
The new electric buses will replace diesel buses that are reaching the end of their statutory lifespan, LTA said in a news release.
Six contracts were awarded for the new electric buses, comprising 360 single-deck and 300 double-deck buses.
This marks LTA’s first large-scale purchase of electric double-deck buses.
“LTA is committed to having a 100 per cent cleaner energy bus fleet by 2040,” the authority said.
