Electric Buses in Malaysia: Policies, Innovations, Technologies and Life Cycle Evaluations

A large-scale adoption of electric buses (EBs) is a promising solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. In the upcoming decades, the development of EB technologies will be initiated worldwide, including in Malaysia. Government policies to support EB deployments ha...
