Harvard University Announces Purchase of 100% Electric Buses

Harvard is taking a significant step towards eliminating the use of fossil fuel on campus. The University is purchasing four, battery-based electric buses, as part of an aggressive effort to advance solutions for climate change, improve public health, and support the University’s climate goals of becoming fossil fuel-free by 2050 and fossil fuel-neutral by 2026. The 100% electric buses from Proterra, which are expected to be on the road in the fall of 2021, will replace four, bio-diesel powered buses representing more than 30% of Harvard’s bus fleet. Harvard will also invest in the electric charging infrastructure needed to support the vehicles. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the buses will also create less air and noise pollution, providing health benefits to the local community.
