First NSW-manufactured electric bus to be trialled in Bondi
The latest addition to the state’s growing zero-emissions bus fleet has been manufactured locally and will be trialled in the suburb of Bondi. It was made by Custom Denning, which has operations in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, and was one of a number of bus companies enlisted to help meet the NSW government’s zero-emissions transport target.
NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance announced the new home-grown e-bus last Friday, inviting commuters to board for a free trial of the pollution-free service.
The Berejiklian government’s plan to transition the state’s 8,000 bus fleet to zero emissions vehicles was detailed in December of last year, with an initial goal of rolling out 120 electric buses in 2021.
