Electric buses are becoming increasingly popular in urban transportation, but the cost of replacing existing diesel fleets can be a significant barrier for many cities. A new study suggests that retrofitting diesel buses with electric propulsion systems could be a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. By repurposing existing buses, cities can reduce waste and minimize the financial burden of upgrading their fleets. Researchers are exploring innovative solutions to make this transition a reality, potentially paving the way for a more sustainable future in public transportation.
