Bus Travel NZ (Tranzit Group) №3794 [CRRC eS11 MAX] seen on a yellow bus service to various local hotels.
The CRRC eS11 is a new 11m integral EV city bus that was initially introduced to replace Palmerston North's diesel fleet. Tranzit followed this up by moving one to New Plymouth and ordering two for Bus Travel.
Tāmaki Makaurau is currently undergoing a major upgrade, with one D/D EV already in service and multiple new 3-axle single deck EVs awaiting to enter service.
Tranzit has also won the contract to operate the WX1 and will be introducing more EVs as a result.

I note that the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) will receive around $29 million, far less than NYC and LA, as described in the excerpt below, and a lot less than the $116 million to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (Boston). Is the CTA sitting on its butt and ignoring the money? Might be. Is it political: the union doesn’t want electric buses because that means fewer jobs? Probably. Regardless of why, I’ll think of this everything I’m in Chicago and smell the diesel-powered bus farts.
Excerpt from this Washington Post story:
The infrastructure law is set to almost double the number of zero-emission buses on U.S. roads with a single year’s funding, the Federal Transit Administration announced Tuesday.
The agency said it has awarded $1.6 billion through a pair of programs to transit operators across the country. The money will be used to purchase about 1,800 buses — including 1,100 that aren’t dependent on fossil fuels — and to construct maintenance and charging facilities while training workers.
The funding is one of the most direct ways the $1 trillion infrastructure package promises to cut carbon emissions from transportation, the nation’s biggest source of greenhouse gases. Federal officials will have another four rounds of funds to distribute in the coming years after Tuesday’s initial awards. The money is expected to help transit agencies accelerate plans to transition from diesel buses to battery- or hydrogen-powered buses.
The money will be spread across 150 projects in 48 states, officials said. The infrastructure law provided officials with six times the funding for a federal low- and no-emissions bus fund over five years than the previous transportation funding law. The FTA received more than 500 applications valued at $7.7 billion — an indication of how eager transit agencies are to modernize their fleets and facilities.
New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the nation’s largest transit agency, received $116 million to help pay for up to 230 electric buses, which would be 4 percent of its fleet. L.A. Metro was awarded $104 million to replace 160 natural-gas-powered buses with electric

How Electrification is Redefining Commercial Transportation
Tumblr media
The global transportation industry has long faced a daunting challenge: balancing the necessity of transportation with the environmental impact of carbon emissions and air pollution. However, a transformative change is on the horizon — a shift toward fleet electrification that promises a cleaner, greener future.
Trucks and buses, constituting less than 8% of vehicles on the road, contribute over 35% of direct CO2 emissions from road transport. This alarming statistic has propelled nations into action. Twenty-seven countries have committed to a 30% reduction in emissions from medium and heavy-duty vehicles by 2030. Simultaneously, a nine-nation group aims for 100% zero-emission trucks and buses by 2035.
The transition to electric buses and trucks presents challenges in pricing, operations, and infrastructure. However, significant progress has been made. In 2022, nearly 66,000 electric buses and 60,000 medium- to heavy-duty trucks hit the roads worldwide, reflecting a growing trend. Battery technology advancements have played a pivotal role, enabling longer driving ranges and operational efficiency. As lithium-ion battery prices continue to drop, fleet electrification is becoming not only environmentally friendly but also economically viable.

Hitachi, a global leader in transportation solutions, is at the forefront of this electrification revolution. Partnering with organizations like the Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) in Quebec, Hitachi is providing innovative solutions like the Grid-eMotion�� Fleet, an integrated charging system designed to fit the needs of existing urban garages. This technology not only reduces the space required for large-scale EV fleet charging but also simplifies the deployment of electrification infrastructure.
As the world races toward carbon neutrality, fleet electrification is crucial for a sustainable mobility future. With technology partners like Hitachi, the vision of a cleaner, greener transportation industry is steadily becoming a reality.

Howick and Eastern Buses №699 [Foton BJ6123EVCA-R2 (C12)] seen at Newmarket on an RBOx run to Onehunga. (2023)
699 is the sole example of the Foton C12 in Aotearoa and trialled with Ritchies-Murphy and Howick and Eastern Buses (Transdev New Zealand) before going down to Te Whanganui-a-Tara for Uzabus to trial along the Kāpiti Coast.
Tumblr media
Seen at Manukau while with Ritchies Murphy. I rode it once on the same service from Manukau to Ōtāhuhu.
Foton has subsequently unveiled the C12L, a tag (3) axle version of the C12. However, despite being in AT Metro livery, it has yet to enter service (current as at 8/05/24). It is also unknown whether either bus will be received well enough for Foton to break into the Aotearoa city bus market.

Can China's emissions actually peak in 2024 ?
As the world's largest greenhouse gases emitter, China's actions on climate change are paramount to our common survival. Lucky us, not only things are trending in the right direction, they are also accelerating in both energy generation and transportation
For the past decades, China’s economic growth has been fueling an explosion of greenhouse gases emissions. To the World Bank, the People’s Republic saw its GDP increase by a massive average of nine percent for 30 years. By becoming the factory of the world – with the impetus and complicity of wealthy Western business owners who saw all the cheap labor – China became the world’s largest greenhouse…
