King County Metro launched 40-foot electric buses in Seattle on February 2, 2026, as part of its zero-emission transit expansion.
Seattle’s King County Metro launched its first battery-electric buses on February 2, 2026, with 40-foot GILLIG buses in electric yellow and seafoam blue serving south King County.
The zero-emission vehicles, capable of 240–280 miles per charge and carrying up to 69 riders, feature enhanced safety partitions and are part of Metro’s broader push for environmental justice and cleaner air.
Charging begins at Tukwila Base this spring, with plans to expand to 120 electric buses.
This rollout reflects growing North American momentum toward sustainable transit, though some agencies like New York City are also investing in hybrid buses for reliability and cost efficiency.
