Milan public transport to be powered by electricity from 2030

Milan plans to become one of the first cities in Europe to have the entirety of its public transport carried out by electric vehicles and it hopes to realize this plan by 2030.

At the moment, 97% of the buses are diesel-powered, and the city plans to stop buying such vehicles in 2020, the public transport company ATM announced.

ATM plans to stop using fossil fuel-powered vehicles in the public transport entirely by the end of 2030. The city should have 1,200 electric buses by then, which would reduce annual CO2 emission by nearly 75,000 tons.

– Milan will be one of the first cities in Italy and Europe to organize its public transport entirely with electric vehicles – it is said.

In the meantime, public transport will partly be carried out by hybrid buses.
