E-BUS RADAR

The Technology Development Plan as a tool for the transition to electric buses in the city of Bogotá D.C.

This case study is part of a three-part series that analyzes Bogotá’s strategy as a Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) E-Bus Mission mentor city, based on an examination of the following aspects of electric
buses: technological progress (including details of pilot tests, cycles, and routes); business models (considering innovations that have been widely implemented for managing the procurement of electric buses); and charging
infrastructure (including a description of how infrastructure and charging energy were supplied, taking technical and regulatory aspects into account). The technology development plan that is the subject of this case study has
been a key tool for achieving the goal of having, as of today, 1,485 electric buses in the city.
