Additionally, two more buses will arrive by this December as part of the Barbados National Climate Change Plan, which has been designed to achieve the island nation’s goals for 100% renewable energy and carbon neutrality by 2030.
The tender process was launched in August, 2019 by the Transport Board for pure electric, ten-metre buses, to provide new technology and sustainable transport solutions to Barbados.
