Zero Emission Buses is a multi-billion dollar program to transition 8000 plus diesel and CNG public transport buses to zero emissions technology. This transition delivers on NSW Government’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and provides more comfortable journeys and liveable places for our customers and community.
Key benefits
Health and environmental benefits from reduced emissions and better air quality
Reduced noise, especially around local neighbourhoods
Smoother journeys
Potential boost to NSW economy with significant regional industry development opportunities
Smarter technology for greater safety and efficiency on our roads
The NSW Government will stagger the transition of the bus fleet to allow local industry time to prepare and technology advancements to be assessed and adopted along the way. The Zero Emission Buses Transition Plan will see Greater Sydney fully transitioned by 2035, Outer Metropolitan regions by 2040, and regional NSW by 2047.
In partnership with industry, the NSW government will sustainably transition our 8,000 plus bus fleet progressively in stages to ensure the latest advances in technology are considered before each stage proceeds.
