After years of strategic planning, rigorous testing, and international collaborations, Golden Arrow Bus Services<\/strong> ( GABS<\/em> ) is advancing sustainable mobility in South Africa by integrating its first 20 electric buses in Cape Town to enhance its public transport system.<\/p>\n\n

The launch of 20 electric buses in Cape Town<\/h2>\n\n

This project began with just two test units in 2021 and has now established itself as one of the most important urban electric mobility initiatives in the country.<\/p>\n\n

Through partnerships with local and international entities, GABS<\/strong> has installed a pioneering charging infrastructure: 30 dual-dispenser charging stations<\/strong> , the largest of their kind in the country. Furthermore, this network is expected to double by 2025, reaching 60 chargers with 120 dispensers. <\/p>\n\n

\n

In 1896, we drove South Africa’s first electric tram, and now, 129 years later, we’re the first city bus company to introduce electric buses on a mass scale.<\/p>\nFrancois Meyer, Managing Director of Golden Arrow Bus Services.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

The electric buses<\/a><\/strong> have been well received by users and communities along their routes. Surveys conducted in passenger forums reflect a high level of satisfaction, highlighting the comfort, quietness, and efficiency of the new system. <\/p>\n\n

\n

As a cornerstone of Cape Town’s public transport system, Golden Arrow is leading the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions with the introduction of these electric buses into its fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the public transportation sector, the shift to electric vehicles is critical to achieving sustainable mobility for commuters and creating economic opportunities and employment in various sectors of the province.<\/p>\n Isaac Sileku, Minister of Mobility of the Western Cape.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
