Amsterdam has announced plans to become the first city in the Netherlands with fully electric bus transport by 2025. The city’s bus fleet, which currently runs on diesel fuel, will be gradually replaced with electric vehicles. A first batch of 40 electric buses will arrive on Amsterdam’s streets in two years time, according to Dutch newspaper Volkskrant. The ferry service connecting the city centre with the borough of Amsterdam-Noord will also be electrified.
