Santiago de Chile aims to lead electric public transport outside China with 4,406 electric buses by 2025, which will represent 68% of its public transport fleet. This is part of a broader ambition for carbon neutrality by 2050. A recent tender initiated for renewing 30% of Red Movilidad will bring an addition of 1,200 zero-emission buses. Since 2016, the electric fleet has grown from just two buses to over 2,500. The transition is crucial for air quality, reducing transport emissions and noise pollution.
Electric buses have contributed to an 80% reduction in particulate matter emissions over the past decade, highlighting a significant environmental improvement due to Santiago's fleet transition.
The introduction of a high-capacity, zero-emission fleet is a central pillar of Santiago's strategy to significantly improve urban air quality and achieve carbon neutrality.
