Sydney Airport begins electric bus rollout
Sydney Airport has begun rolling out 50 electric buses as part of its pathway to net zero for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. The airport says the fleet will progressively replace diesel-powered vehicles used to transport passengers and staff across landside and airside operations. 14
The new fleet is supplied by Australian electric vehicle manufacturer Bus & Coach International. It comprises 25 dual-control airfield apron buses and 25 Citirider electric shuttle buses, covering both airside and shuttle duties at the airport. 143
Passenger information and cultural artwork
Sydney Airport says digital information displays will be fitted onboard and at bus stops to show live estimates of wait times and time to destination. The airport says the displays are intended to help passengers move between terminals, parking areas and other parts of the precinct with more certainty. 146
Each bus carries commissioned artwork by Dharawal artist Shane Youngberry, created with the Gujaga Foundation. The design is named Gamay, the Dharawal word for Botany Bay, and features sea creatures significant in Dharawal culture, including the girawaa stingray and dhanj fish. 143
