1st electric bus completed under $250m Australian-WA Government initiative for 130 locally built electric buses and charging infrastructure in Perth.

The first electric bus manufactured under a $250m Australian-WA Government initiative has been completed. The Australian Government has committed $125m for electric bus charging infrastructure in Perth, combined with $125m from WA for 130 locally built electric buses. The investment supports over 100 jobs and includes charging infrastructure at key depots. The new electric buses, to be used on CBD CAT bus routes, are expected to be 18% cheaper to operate than diesel buses and will enter service by mid-2022.
