Sustainable Bus magazine 2023 #1 is out. Check out the new issue!

Printed in early February, already brought “on assignment” at Busworld North America, shipped to a batch of the most important public transport operators in Europe, ready to be in distribution at ElekBu in Germany next month. Besides this, of course Sustainable Bus magazine February 2023 is as always fully available online.

Topics? A clear picture of fundings available for zero emission buses in UK, an insight on the fuel cell bus market, a glimpse of the largest electric bus fleet in Middle East (hint: Mowasalat). Again: focus on safety precautions in H2 bus depots, a commentary on the market for second hand e-buses (and battery residual value).

Enjoy!
