Electric buses and trucks are revolutionising urban transport by providing cleaner alternatives to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. As cities worldwide embrace electric vehicles (EVs), the benefits extend beyond environmental impact, enhancing the quality of life for residents and passengers alike. Tenix is at the forefront of this transition, offering innovative solutions to facilitate the shift.
Positive Impact on the Planet
The move from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to electric ones represents a significant advancement in the fight against climate change. Traditional buses and trucks emit CO2 and other pollutants, exacerbating global warming and health issues for passengers and nearby residents. In contrast, electric vehicles produce zero emissions during operation.
According to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), battery electric buses generate at least 63% lower lifetime greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel buses, even when considering the current European electricity grid mix. This highlights the substantial environmental benefits of adopting electric technologies.
By harnessing renewable energy sources such as hydropower and wind power, electric vehicles present a sustainable long-term solution. Although challenges exist in battery production and disposal, ongoing advancements in technology and recycling practices are continuously improving the environmental footprint of electric vehicles. Tenix’s solutions enable fleet operators to efficiently manage charging infrastructure, optimising energy use and ensuring that electric buses and trucks are powered by clean energy sources.
