Berlin invests in electric mobility
The BVG (public transportation in Berlin) has just presented its future fleet: by 2021 a total of 225 purely electric buses will be in circulation and by 2030 the entire bus fleet will be converted to electric vehicles. The Environment and Transport Ministries are offering 48 million euros for both the investments in the purchase of the buses and the installation of charging stations. The Berlin Senate will provide 58 million euros to accelerate the changeover.
