Electric buses: Towards a climate neutral island

The Gozo Business Chamber has welcomed the introduction of the new electric fleet of public buses by Malta Public Transport, which are now being operated all around Gozo. 

The Chamber noted with satisfaction the implementation of this measure, which was announced in the last budget and said it believes this is an important milestone towards having cleaner transport on the roads. 

The Chamber had advocated for this measure, given the impact of public transport in Gozo. 

It believes that, given Gozo’s size, the complete replacement of the diesel-powered buses with new zero-emission electric buses is an important milestone in Gozo’s journey towards reaching its climate neutrality objectives. 

The Chamber said in a statement it hopes that through targeted incentives this transition will also be facilitated in the commercial sector.
