The CCAC Soot-Free Urban Bus Fleets Project aims to help 20 cities shift their bus fleets to soot-free engines through technical support, commitments to procurement changes, and industry partnerships. Cities that implement cleaner fleets can realize substantial benefits to health and the climate.
Journey to a soot free joburg presentation
This document summarizes Metrobus's current fleet, which includes 307 Mercedes Benz buses that are 30 years old. 30 Euro-2 buses were converted from diesel to run on both diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG). Metrobus procured 150 new Euro-5 buses that will be converted to also run on diesel and CNG using a trailer compressor and CNG storage. The benefits of these conversions include using cheaper and cleaner fuels that produce less emissions and extend engine life. Metrobus's plans for the future include further conversions to dual-fuel, retiring the oldest buses, and investigating dedicated CNG buses.
