Battery-electric coaches are increasingly in the news lately. This battery-electric MCI J4500 was recently used on a pilot program on a route between Los Angeles and San Diego with FlixBus. MCI has also run a battery-electric coach across the United States using public charging stations.
Europe is also moving strongly to electric buses. Here, a new Irizar battery-electric bus was photographed in front of the historic Palace Hotel in Madrid, Spain. With their new order for 90 Irizar buses, Madrid will have a total of 175 zeroemission Irizar buses in its fleet.
