Electric Buses a Transition Strategy

About 279,000 barrels a day of fuel won’t be needed this year because of electric buses mostly located in China. Buses are a great place to start as they on average consume 30 times more fuel than the average car.
The numbers are staggering. China had about 99 percent of the 385,000 electric buses on the roads worldwide in 2017, accounting for 17 percent of the country’s entire fleet. Every five weeks, Chinese cities add 9,500 of the zero-emissions transporters—the equivalent of London’s entire working fleet, according Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
