electric bus
Zero-emission public transport
An electric bus is a bus powered by electricity rather than diesel or gasoline, typically drawing from onboard batteries or overhead wires.
Cities increasingly deploy electric buses to reduce emissions and noise: The transit authority is replacing its diesel fleet with electric buses.
Also called e-bus.
