Point of no return - Electric buses have gone from 12% to 56% of new city bus sales in Europe in just six years
Some nations are already at or close to 100%. Look at the Nordics, the Baltics, the Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria and more.
In some cases the transition has been extremely rapid. Estonia went from 0% to 100% in two years.
At this rate, Europe's 2035 target of 100% zero emission bus sales could be reached as early as 2028.
High mileage and centralised operations mean electric buses are cheaper to operate than diesel.
Buses have fast fleet turnover so the shift will affect entire fleets far sooner than many expect, delivering quieter streets and cleaner city air.
Bravo Europe 🇪🇺!
We can’t solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis and we must unite behind experts and science.
This of course goes for all crises.
Now the experts urge us to avoid big public gatherings for a better chance to #flattenthecurve and slow the spreading of the Coronavirus. 1/4

The #RBA has an explicit easing bias now....Unemployment rate expected to decline but only to 5% with "little upward pressure on wages". 2019 growth forecasts cut to 2.5% but still looking for 2.75% in 2020 #ausbiz
