Western Australia has officially entered a new era in public transport, with the final diesel bus rolling off the production line at Volgren’s facility and into active service.
From this point forward, every new bus built for the state’s public transport network will be fully electric, a major step in WA’s transition toward zero-emission transport.
The milestone signals the end of diesel bus manufacturing in Western Australia and the beginning of a clean-energy fleet rollout led by long-term partners Volvo Bus Australia and Volgren.
Volvo, the contracted chassis supplier for the project, says it is proud to support the Public Transport Authority (PTA) in this landmark transition.
