Made-in-Singapore electric bus set to hit the roads at the end of the year

The first-ever electric bus model that is designed and made in Singapore is set to hit the roads at the end of the year. With three doors, the 12-metre-long vehicle can take up to 89 passengers and almost all of it is recyclable. It comes with advanced safety systems and shatter-proof passenger seats. Local bus manufacturer SC Auto is tying up with Volvo to make nearly 600 of these buses each year in its Senoko plant to meet local and overseas orders.
