The E-BUS RADAR platform promotes and monitors the initiatives of Latin American cities to integrate electric buses (e-buses) into their urban public transport systems. The objectives of this platform are: (1) to monitor and map e-bus fleets in operation; (2) to promote data transparency; and (3) to quantify the annual CO2 emissions reduction attributed to these vehicles.
The E-BUS RADAR data pertains to the systems in operation as of July 2024, in Latin American cities and metropolitan areas that already have e-buses in their public transport fleets. E-buses that have been purchased but are yet to enter the fleets are not showcased on the platform. We invite you to read this publication developed by the ICCT, which provides detailed information on the methodology for calculating the CO2 emissions avoided in the life cycle by electric buses in operation.
In some cases, the E-BUS RADAR also highlights cities with ongoing tenders that will lead to significant deployments of e-buses.
Why e-buses?
Emissions from the transportation sector result in over $1 trillion in health damage every year. The growth of this sector has also contributed to expanding greenhouse gas emissions associated with rising sea levels, temperatures, fires, and other impacts on climate change.
Urban bus fleets are the primary mode of urban mobility for hundreds of millions of citizens in Latin America. However, these fleets are still powered by diesel, an antiquated and highly polluting technology. In order to tackle the challenges posed by diesel engines to air quality and climate, cities must embrace an energy and technological transition.
E-buses are an excellent solution for promoting cleaner and healthier urban areas while supporting local and national governments in achieving their climate goals. In this context, the expansion of e-bus fleets in Latin American cities is key to the economic and global future.
