Singapore launches double-deck electric buses

The Land Transport Authority says it is committed to a 100% clean energy bus fleet by 2040.

The Land Transport Authority announced that the first 10 electric double-decker buses are now joining the 15 electric single-deck buses already in service.

This is all in part of LTA’s commitment to a 100% cleaner energy bus fleet by 2040.

60 buses were acquired under a tender awarded in October 2018 comprising 20 single-deck buses each from BYD and ST Engineering Land Systems, and 10 single and double deck buses from the Yutong-NARI Consortium.

The 60 buses are expected to be fully deployed by 2021.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
