Volvo and a Singapore university unveiled a driverless electric bus Tuesday that will soon undergo tests in the city-state, the latest move towards rolling out autonomous vehicles for public transport.
A new Bloomberg report sees electric drivetrains claiming a whopping 84% of all new vehicle sales by 2030. And the reason is that electric buses will have lower cost of ownership than their fossil fuel-powered counterparts.
A ride on an electric bus might be a novelty now, but before the end of the next decade, almost half the world’s bus commuters will be boarding sustainably powered vehicles.
