Electric buses and trucks are better for the planet, your neighbourhood, and you. As cities worldwide adopt electric vehicles as cleaner alternatives to fuel-powered vehicles, the benefits extend far beyond environmental impact. Not only do electric vehicles reduce harmful emissions, but they also enhance the quality of life for residents and passengers alike. Tenix is here to facilitate this transition with proven, innovative solutions.
Positive Impact on the Planet
The shift from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to electric ones marks a significant stride in combating climate change. Traditional buses and trucks emit CO2 and other pollutants, contributing to global warming and health issues for passengers and nearby residents. In contrast, electric vehicles produce zero emissions during operation.
According to a fact sheet by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), battery electric buses produce at least 63% lower lifetime greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel buses, even when accounting for the current European electricity grid mix. This demonstrates the substantial environmental benefits of transitioning to electric technologies.
By utilising renewable energy sources such as hydropower and wind power, electric vehicles offer a sustainable long-term solution. While battery production and disposal present challenges, advancements in technology and recycling practices are continuously improving the environmental footprint of electric vehicles. Tenix solutions help fleet operators manage the charging infrastructure efficiently, optimising energy use and ensuring that electric buses and trucks are powered by clean energy sources.
Noise Pollution Reduction
Electric vehicles significantly reduce noise pollution, creating quieter urban environments. The implementation of electric buses in urban areas has the potential to decrease traffic noise by up to 4.4 decibels (dBA) during the daytime in city centres. This reduction transforms cities into more peaceful spaces, enhancing the quality of life for residents and improving passenger comfort.
Passengers on electric vehicles enjoy a more relaxing journey, as the quiet operation allows for easier conversation and reduces stress. This quieter environment also benefits local wildlife, fostering biodiversity in urban areas.
Enhanced Comfort for Passengers
Traveling on electric buses and trucks is notably more comfortable. The smooth power delivery from electric motors results in seamless acceleration and deceleration, minimising vibrations and ensuring a relaxing ride.
Electric vehicles often feature improved interior designs, maximising space on public transport for seating and amenities, including bike and luggage racks. This accessibility makes public transport more convenient, especially for those with mobility aids or bulky luggage. Additionally, the lack of engine heat keeps the interior temperature comfortable, particularly in warmer months.
