The Land Transport Authority of Singapore has issued a tender for 660 new electric buses, which will enhance its fleet as part of a broader strategy for cleaner transport by 2040. This addition will raise the total number of battery-electric buses to 1,140, contributing to a public bus fleet of around 5,800. The buses will feature safety innovations like automatic fire suppression systems and on-board surveillance. By 2027, LTA aims to procure over 2,000 additional electric buses, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable public transport solutions.
"The automatic fire suppression system is designed to detect and extinguish fires, triggering alarms and reducing the bus's speed to facilitate safe roadside stops."
"By 2040, our goal is to transition the entire public bus fleet to cleaner energy sources, with the recent tender being a significant step towards this objective."
