Electric transit buses
Simplify your community’s transition to an electric bus fleet with turnkey public transportation electrification and customized, flexible solutions.
What Are Electric Transit Buses?
An electric bus fleet provides zero-emissions public transportation
As local governments shift their operations to a more sustainable approach, many are looking to zero-emissions transport. Transitioning to electric buses improves air quality, reduces emissions and noise pollution, cuts costs, and provides a more comfortable public service. But building a fleet of electric transit buses and installing electric bus charging infrastructure is a complex process, and many local governments need a partner.
As one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies, Enel North America provides flexible solutions to meet the specific requirements of transit agencies and public transport operators who embark on their fleet electrification journey. Our turnkey solutions remove the high up-front cost of electrification and simplify the transition to a fleet of electric transit buses.
