ESG PR ON IT’S TOUR OF GIBRALTAR’S FIRST ELECTRIC BUS
It is with some relief that the ESG can strongly welcome the arrival of the first 3 electric buses to Gibraltar. This major step signals what the group hopes will be the fast roll-out of all zones being replaced with these impressive and clean emission vehicles.
ESG thanks Stewart Harrison from the Ministry of Transport who provided a first-hand experience with a visit to the Bus Depot and tour of the Upper Town Route in a brand-new electric bus, destined, for now, for Upper Rock purposes. The group was informed that the Upper Town electric buses will be up and running by 1st of September.
The group can testify that the ride was extremely comfortable on every level, especially in the knowledge that there were no kerbside emissions as a result either produced in such comfort.
“We trust this step indicates a true commitment to green up all of Gibraltar’s public transport needs that will also comply with Gibraltar’s climate targets and responsibility to public health and safety,” said a spokesperson.
The group joined members of the Dept of the Environment and Bus Company on their trip where much discussion was held about the issues of public transport in Gibraltar today.
