The ESG has issued a statement welcoming the electric bus being trialed in Gibraltar.

A statement from the ESG follows below:

The ESG is pleased to read in the Gibraltar Chronicle about the electric bus currently being  trialled. The article identifies as being 1 of 2 being trialled and the ESG is excited at the  thought of this important step coming from the Ministry of Transport. We will be requesting  more information from the Ministry as to whether the other bus being trialled is from the  same supplier, and also, bearing in mind that these units are electric, if they are looking at  particular routes. The photograph in the article shows quite a compact vehicle , so ideal for  our Upper Town route. 

The ESG hopes the trials have a successful conclusion leading to the introduction of electric  buses by the Gibraltar Bus Company.
