ComfortDelGro Bus to operate SG's largest e-bus fleet

The company won a $30m contract to operate at the NUS. 

ComfortDelGro Bus will operate Singapore's largest electrified private bus fleet after winning the National University of Singapore's (NUS) tender to provide shuttle bus services at its campus.

The multi-year contract, valued at more than $30m, is for the electrification of the university's entire fleet of shuttle service buses.

CEO Stephen Chow said, "We are excited to have won this tender to operate the largest electrified private bus fleet at the NUS Kent Ridge campus as this is very much in line with both ComfortDelGro Bus' and NUS' sustainability goals. We are not new to providing the NUS shuttle service, as we have been doing so for nearly two decades. To prepare us for the transition towards electrification, we had in July this year trialled an electric bus as part of the NUS shuttle service. That has given us insights as to how we can better manage the electrification of the entire fleet next year."

The successful NUS bid comes about two months after its sister company, ComfortDelGro Engineering, had won a strongly-contested tender to operate 479 of 632 electric vehicle chargers slated for introduction next year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
