These are the first fully electric buses in South Africa to transport passengers along active routes.
The buses, which endured a 12-month testing phase, have a 300km range.
They are recharged at Golden Arrow’s solar-powered depot in Epping, which produces 50kWp energy.
In a first for South Africa’s public transport system, Golden Arrow has officially launched two fully electric buses, which are carrying passengers as of July.
