The Victorian government in Australia has unveiled its Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Plan to transition the state's bus fleet to zero emission buses by 2035. The plan aims to phase out diesel buses and provide operators with the flexibility to choose between battery electric buses (BEB) and hydrogen fuel cell buses (HFCB). The government expects BEBs to lead the transition, especially for metropolitan services. Victoria is investing in 600 new battery electric buses by 2035 through the Metropolitan Zero Emission Bus Franchises. These franchises cover 131 public routes and more than 230 school services in Melbourne. The plan includes a 62% local content requirement to boost local manufacturing, create job opportunities, and enhance workforce skills. The ZEB Plan emphasizes improving the customer experience, reducing emissions, and supporting local manufacturing. Overall, the plan aims to create a quieter and cleaner public transport system while promoting sustainability and local economic growth.
