Electrification 28 May 2021

They’re off! Our first fully electric buses with 250 km range are now in service. The STL’s 10 electric buses will be gradually put into service on our network to provide you with an even more eco-friendly transportation method.

This is a minor revolution for public transit in Laval: 

• Each electric bus will prevent 70 to 80 tonnes of GHG emissions each year, and help reduce road congestion.
• Electric buses are quieter. On board or near one of our electric buses, you’ll notice that they’re a lot quieter than a hybrid or biodiesel bus. 
• Electric buses produce fewer vibrations, which makes riding them a lot nicer.

Travel even more safely.

• The driver protection zone is mobile. This means that the partition will close when you enter the bus and open toward the aisle when you have finished paying your fare.

This is a plus for Laval residents’ and users’ quality of life. In order to benefit as many passengers as possible, electric buses will be put into service randomly throughout the STL network. 

Keep an eye out for them!
