The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced its commitment to reduce land transport emissions by 80% by 2050. The emissions have peaked at 7.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2016, well ahead of the 2030 timeline set.
To pave the way, the LTA has enumerated four steps to meet its goal.
The LTA said it aimed to have a 100% cleaner energy bus fleet by 2040. So far, 60 electric buses have been purchased and deployed to help better understand the operational and technical considerations of a larger-scale rollout.
By 2030, half of the public bus fleet will be electric buses, as LTA replaces diesel buses that have reached their statutory lifespan. It will replace over 400 diesel buses by 2025.
