About
Four of the world’s largest bus and engine manufacturers committed to make it easier for major cities to purchase buses equipped with low emissions technologies to tackle climate change and toxic air pollution.
BYD, Cummins, Scania and Volvo Buses will ensure ‘soot-free’ engine technology is available for purchase in 20 megacities beginning in 2018. The manufacturers will release a full product portfolio available in each city and begin publicly reporting soot-free buses sold each year. Read more here.
