Again where will the power to charge these busses come from, 280km per full charge, is it with traffic or without traffic.

Will these fare better than gas powered and diesel powered buses in the long term

This ur question get as e be.
U think say Dem never get power stations?

Black man just like to join trend.

Even if him social economic realities never ready for it.

Good one from governor sanwoolu

Lagos have an independent power plant google it and see how massive it is.

ogelekpomgam:

It can.Yes.but its more manageable and flexible. Argument aside,are you not aware of the crazy traffic on island bridges?..Are you in Lagos at all?..I work in lekki.I pass there daily.

There is something called guage, you won't take an empty tank over a long distance. I work in VI so ?

This is impressive. I look forward to favorable performance data so that the pilot phase can proceed to full deployment and the planned assembly plants in Nigeria.

Each of these Yutong electric buses has the ability to travel 280-kilometers at full charge

Travel distance far exceeds an average daily usage of 200-kilometers from existing diesel-powered BRTs.

The Lagos State Government through the Lagos Bus Service Limited (LBSL) has officially launched the revolutionary proof-of-concept phase of the Electric Vehicle (EV) mass transit buses for passenger operations in the State.


According to the Lagos State Government, each of these electric buses has the ability to travel 280km at full charge, which far exceeds an average daily usage of 200-kilometers from existing diesel-powered BRTs.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had on April 30th announced the arrival of the first set of Yutong electric buses for the state’s mass transit scheme as part of the State Government’s increased effort to modernise every sector of Lagos.

Taken to his Instagram page on Sunday to share pictures of the Electric buses, Sanwo-Olu also revealed that the State Government shall be running a pilot scheme over the next few months.

“I am excited to announce the first set of electric buses in the Lagos Mass transit master plan as part of our increased effort to modernise every sector of Lagos. Thanks to our partnership with @Oando_PLC, Lagosians can expect a cleaner and greener public transportation system.”

“With the ability to travel 280km at full charge, taking into account our unique travel times in Lagos, our electric buses are a game-changer. With an average daily usage of 200km by existing BRTs, there is no need to fear that the buses can stop on the road.”

Lagos has independent power plant

How many areas in Lagos have been powered by the so called IPP? Bros go and rest

One bad belle comment spoted.

THIS IS A CLASSICAL WHITE ELEPHANT PROJECT..

PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE
.
HIGHLY UNSUSTAINABLE... ATTENTION SEEKING.

ORDINARY UGANDA HAS ELECTRIC VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PLANT.

WE IMPORTED AT INFLATED PRICE AND DECIDED TO SHOW OFF..

THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF DESPERATION

Penguin2:
Hope it will start working?

Or will it end up like the Blue Line Rail that Buhari commissioned since December but not a single Lagosian has been conveyed in it since after the inauguration?

Scammers and druggies in government 😏.

By their comments we know them.

Hope there's multiple heads USB phone chargers inside the bus because that's all I'm interested in.
Not when I mistakenly forget my phone charger and enter the bus then I won't see any means to charge my phone

Yes.gauge is there.economically wise...do u think you should be filling up your tank to the brim everyday cos of traffic?.. And you can't compare fuel combustion rate to battery discharge rate...

Electric car batteries barely run down when it's on a stand still. The it consumes a lot more when it is moving. It is even more conservative in a stand still than fuel.

For those of you who hate Nigeria leading but want us to follow, this should please you.

My only concern is poor maintenance culture in Nigeria

This is an opportunity for Nigerians to create more companies specialised in maintenance.
We should learn to turn every problems into business opportunities

Ogun state ought to receive award for underdevelop state in Nigeria

INTEGRITYA1:
Lagos Government have been making efforts in order to get better and put the state in the path of progress on daily basis.

Ogun State, how far?

Is like there is no Governor in Ogun State at all.

Before boarding, check the battery level

Pele Electromechanical Power Instrumentation and Control Engineer. Like as if you're more intelligent than the person who conceive the idea, take it to LSG for consideration, LSG engaging Consultants and now implementation and commissioning.
So they must have missed the part of how the Electric buses wiould be recharge.

based on your google search, where is this IPP that lagos has and is it functional?

A minute step in the right direction. I approve.

right direction for what exactly?

That shouldn't be your headache, please.
You have other things to worry about...

Thank you as you comply ...

Lagos state the trail Blazers, other states que behind, the only state utilizing both the IGR and federal allocations effectively.

Come to think of it,the Niger Delta state should have been doing better if not for systemic corruption of their Governor's.

Kudos to sanwo only, Lagos state and Nigeria.

so there is no systemic corruption in lagos

I think they are doing a kind of research wit the electric buses..
