ElectricTransit System: Global BC Transit is pleased to be proceeding with the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for our first 10 battery electric heavy-duty buses. Heavy duty buses are the regular 40 transit buses you see in communities across the province. Were excited to take this step after gathering responses from industry through a formal Request for Information that is supporting and informing the continued project and program development. The RFP will allow BC Transit the option of purchasing more heavy duty battery electric buses, along with the associated infrastructure, from the successful proponents to support the replacement and expansion of the heavy duty fleet. The procurement of these 10 battery electric buses will help us on our path to: Exceed the Province of BCs greenhouse gas reduction targets; Never buying further diesel heavy duty buses; Buying only zero-emission buses in all fleet classifications after 2028; and Having a fully zero-emission provincial fleet by 2040
