Malta Public Transport said it has made a €14 million investment in 40 new fully electric buses, further expanding the company’s commitment to cleaner and more efficient public transport across Malta and Gozo.
With 35 electric buses already in service, the arrival of the additional vehicles will more than double the size of the company’s electric fleet.
MPT said that the rollout will also support plans for Gozo’s public transport network to transition towards fully electric operations in the weeks ahead, with a number of the newly acquired buses earmarked specifically for routes on the sister island.
The new vehicles consist of 13 electric six-metre minibuses, 19 electric nine-metre buses and eight electric 12-metre buses. The smaller buses will primarily serve village cores and residential areas, providing a more agile and environmentally friendly transport solution within urban centres, while the larger vehicles will operate across the wider route network.
