Healthier cities with electric buses

June 9, 2022

Together with our ElectriCity partners from the University of Gothenburg, Västtrafik and the City of Gothenburg, hosted a broadcasted event on the topic “electrification and noise in the city”.

We talked to Kerstin Persson Waye, an expert on how noise impacts our health. We also met with representatives from other ElectriCity partners and discussed the role of low noise in city development, new possibilities for planning public transport and the future of electromobility.

Additionally, we spoke with residents along the fully electric bus route 60 – for some personal accounts on how electrification has impacted their everyday lives.
