What Is Transit Bus Fleet Electrification?
Zero-Emissions Public Transportation
As local governments shift their operations to a more sustainable approach, many are looking to zero-emissions transport. Transitioning to an electric transit bus fleet improves air quality, reduces emissions and noise pollution, cuts costs, and provides a more comfortable public service. But building an electric transit bus fleet 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 an electric transit bus fleet.
