But more financing are needed"},"content":{"rendered":"
Nearly 1,000 electric buses<\/strong> will join De Lijn<\/strong> bus fleet over the next 15 years. The Belgian public transport company is looking for suppliers, both for the electric bus<\/a> units and the charging infrastructures. To this extent, the bus operator is demanding an additional financing to the Flemish government<\/strong>, as the massive introduction of electric buses would require an investment of over one billion euro, much more than the resources currently planned.<\/p>\n
