Next steps for Peruvian authorities
GSEP pioneered in developing the very first technical specifications needed for electric buses to circulate on Lima’s roads. A first e-bus and its charging infrastructure have been designed, built and donated by GSEP to the transport authorities in Peru.
The data gathered through bus operation was analyzed and compiled into a replicability study that the Peruvian government used to implement large-scale electrification across the country’s public transit systems.
GSEP has also transferred all the technical specifications for the construction of the bus to the Peruvian government, in view of the government’s call for proposal for the purchase of additional e-buses and the implementation of electric mobility at a larger scale into Lima’s public transit system.
As part of the project, GSEP also offered technical trainings which have resulted in transferring knowledge and developing expertise on electric transportation to facilitate the implementation of electromobility in Peru.
The integration of the first electric bus into the public transportation system of Lima and Callao has complemented our experience in electromobility in a valuable way. It's encouraged us to adopt concrete actions to speed up and facilitate the large-scale electrification of public transport in our cities.
