ComfortDelGro Bus to operate SG's largest e-bus fleet

The company won a $30m contract to operate at the NUS. 

ComfortDelGro Bus will operate Singapore's largest electrified private bus fleet after winning the National University of Singapore's (NUS) tender to provide shuttle bus services at its campus.

The multi-year contract, valued at more than $30m, is for the electrification of the university's entire fleet of shuttle service buses.

CEO Stephen Chow said, "We are excited to have won this tender to operate the largest electrified private bus fleet at the NUS Kent Ridge campus as this is very much in line with both ComfortDelGro Bus' and NUS' sustainability goals. We are not new to providing the NUS shuttle service, as we have been doing so for nearly two decades. To prepare us for the transition towards electrification, we had in July this year trialled an electric bus as part of the NUS shuttle service. That has given us insights as to how we can better manage the electrification of the entire fleet next year."

The successful NUS bid comes about two months after its sister company, ComfortDelGro Engineering, had won a strongly-contested tender to operate 479 of 632 electric vehicle chargers slated for introduction next year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
