BRAZIL ELECTRIC BUS MARKET

INTRODUCTION

In Latin American cities, public transit is quite important. Because of their large population densities, cities are also the most likely places to be the most polluted. Electric buses offer a unique potential to provide a comfortable means of urban transit while also improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion.

To encourage the adoption of electric buses, new contractual procedures have been developed. Bus companies will be compensated based on the number of passengers transported rather than the number of miles travelled under the new contracts. In addition, servicing contracts are issued independently of bus procurement.
