Electric buses are vehicles designed for public transportation that are powered entirely by electricity rather than conventional diesel or gasoline engines. They utilize electric motors for propulsion and are typically powered by batteries or, in some cases, by hydrogen fuel cells. Electric buses are known for producing zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in urban environments. They often provide quieter, smoother rides compared to traditional buses. Electric bus systems can aid in promoting sustainability within public transport networks, support energy efficiency, and reduce the overall carbon footprint of transportation services. Advances in battery technology have improved the range and efficiency of electric buses, making them a viable option for urban and intercity transit systems.
