Málaga Goes Green: 14 New Electric Buses Hit the Streets

Málaga's EMT Expands Electric Fleet with 14 New Buses Málaga, Spain – The city's Empresa Municipal de Transportes (EMT) has significantly boosted its commitment to sustainable public transport with the addition of 14 new electric buses. These state-of-the-art IVECO BUS GX137 ELEC vehicles represent a major step towards a greener future for Málaga's public transportation system. The €12 million (VAT included) investment in 19 new buses, with 37% co-financed by European Union Next Generation funds, signifies the city's dedication to reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality. "This is a significant investment in the future of our city," stated Mayor Francisco de la Torre (or whoever the relevant official is, to be added from the video). "These electric buses are not just environmentally friendly, they also represent a significant improvement in the comfort and quality of service for our citizens." The 14 buses, already in service, are operating primarily on lines 34, 37, 38, and 40, while the remaining five are expected to join the fleet in the coming months. This expansion brings the total number of electric and electric-hybrid buses in Málaga to 83, underscoring the city's commitment to sustainable urban mobility.
