Verkehrsbetriebe St.Gallen (VBSG) has initiated a procurement process for 13 new battery-electric buses as part of its strategy to achieve an all-electric fleet by 2030. This follows the cancellation of a prior contract due to issues with a Dutch manufacturer. The new tender incorporates lessons learned and emphasizes standard 12-metre buses, with an option to evaluate articulated buses for future fleet renewal. VBSG also continues to utilize trolleybuses, aiming to electrify current diesel routes and develop a comprehensive replacement strategy for the aging fleet, ensuring a seamless transition to electric vehicles.
VBSG's new procurement process for battery-electric buses aims for an all-electric fleet by 2030, focusing on operational flexibility and integrated transit strategies.
