New Electric Bus Buzzing Around Wellington Airport
Wellington Airport has launched a new fully electric bus into service this week, the first of its kind in New Zealand.
The Yutong E9L has begun taking travellers to and from the long-term carpark every 15 minutes, providing a convenient and sustainable transport option.
As well as being zero emissions, the bus also provides more space, capacity and comfort for travellers.
Wellington Airport has now replaced the majority of its ground fleet with electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, an important step towards the goal of net zero emissions for the airport’s own direct operations by 2030.
Wellington Airport chief executive Matt Clarke says:
“We’re very proud of our slick new wheels and it’s a triple win for us.
“Not only does it look amazing as a canvas for our new branding, it’s also a more comfortable and convenient ride for travellers and another reduction in our emissions as well.”
