The South Australian government has today announced it has ordered 60 brand new 100 per cent full battery electric buses and revealed plans to create a zero-emissions passenger transport network.
The new bus fleet bodies will come with a Scania chassis and a Volgren body, with the infrastructure to charge the buses to be installed at the Morphettville depot.
The buses will be delivered progressively throughout the second half of this year and the start of 2026, with there currently only being the one trial full battery electric bus operating on the state’s bus network.
Alongside this, the SA government has also appointed two global engineering advisory firms to develop detailed planning for creating a zero-emissions passenger transport network.
