Ciudad de México, MX introduces all-electric BRT line as part of system-wide fleet electrification
Metrobús worked with C40 Cities and the International Council on Clean Transport on Line 3's conversion to electric buses. A fleet of 50 new buses provides zero-emission transport along the 20.4- kilometer route. Each bus can travel up to 330 kilometers per charge, thus allowing eight roundtrips on Line 3 before recharging is required. This fleet will result in an annual emissions reduction of 7,500 tons and moves the transit operator closer to 100% fleet conversion by 2035.
