By Subterráneos de Buenos Aires
This is a machine translation of the original press release issued in Spanish.
With the aim of improving mobility and adding innovative and sustainable alternatives, the City published the tender to buy 20 electric vehicles, which are already used in several capitals of the world, and which will be part of a new alternative for passenger transport. These electric options will form a road network that will improve connectivity and intermodality and will be added to the electric minibuses, which will circulate through the historic center in the first step towards the decarbonization of public passenger transport in Argentina.
"With Trambus we are facing new challenges to improve accessibility and urban mobility: to enable people to move around using more sustainable vehicles. At the same time we are working to connect areas of the city that need it today, as will happen in the Old Town with electric buses," said the Head of Government, Jorge Macri.
This first tender for the acquisition of vehicles takes place while the City advances in the definition of routes, stops and works necessary for the layout and regulation of the service.
“Improving mobility in cities is one of the great challenges that cities face in the coming years, and the important thing is to think of innovative and environmentally sustainable alternatives. The Trambus will mark a before and after in terms of mobility in Argentina,” said Pablo Bereciartua, Minister of Infrastructure of the City of Buenos Aires.
