The green loan is the latest in the transport operator’s efforts to transition its global bus fleet to 50% cleaner energy vehicles by 2030 and 100% by 2050.
ComfortDelGro (CDG) has secured a $100 million green loan from DBS to decarbonise its UK bus fleet.
Proceeds of the facility were used to buy 135 electric buses – 77 double-deck and 58 single-deck buses – for CDG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Metroline. The buses will replace 135 internal combustion engine-powered buses and are projected to avoid about 9,900 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent tailpipe emissions annually.
