London’s push toward a zero-emission future has reached a significant milestone with the introduction of innovative pantograph technology at Bexleyheath bus garage.
This technology facilitates rapid, wireless charging for buses on the all-electric route 132, showcasing London’s commitment to a cleaner and greener public transportation system.
TfL’s plan aims for a fully zero-emission bus fleet for all of its 9,000 buses in London by 2034, supporting the Mayor’s broader goal of achieving net zero by 2030. With more than 850 zero-emission buses already in operation, the focus now turns to enhancing charging infrastructure to meet the demands of diverse bus routes across the city.
Not what we would normally call “wireless” is it.
How about a proven technology, instead?
