As part of its commitment to sustainability, VG Mobility announced through an official statement the signing of an agreement with Consorcio Express, main operator of the Integrated Public Transport System of Bogota, to support the transition of 1,056 electric buses in the city.
Thus, the Vitol Group company will be key in the path towards electromobility in the capital of Colombia over the next 6 years, relying on its extensive experience in projects of this caliber, with more than 400 electrified units in the nation, while in Chile it has more than 40 and 2 electroterminals.
Thus, the San Cristobal and Usaquen areas of the Integrated Public Transport System of Bogota will have units that operate with high environmental standards, in favor of sustainability, benefiting inhabitants, society and the planet.
