The Invercargill City Council’s BusSmart network is rolling out its new fleet of seven electric vehicles.
They’re environmentally cleaner and cheaper to run.
“The only reminder we have for people is to remember the EV bus fleet is a lot quieter,’’ the council’s chief executive Michael Day said. \

“The only reminder we have for people is to remember the EV bus fleet is a lot quieter,’’ the council’s chief executive Michael Day said.
“So whether you’re a pedestrian, cyclist or driving on our roads, make sure you’re aware of other vehicles around you.’’
The fleet would operate under a nine-year $21.5 million contract with international zero-emission company Kinetic, which also services greater Christchurch, the Otago network including Mosgiel’s fully electric fleet, and a quarter of London’s famed red buses.
