Our environmental promise

Tranzit is committed to continuous environmental improvements and awareness

We are committed to decarbonising our bus fleet and investing in charging infrastructure to support our growing fleet of electric buses. After introducing the first battery powered electric bus into New Zealand in 2018 and the first electric bus into regional New Zealand in 2021, we now operate more than 40 double deck electric buses for Metlink in Wellington, introduced New Zealand’s first 100% fully electric bus fleet in the Manawatū in 2024 with our partners Horizons Regional Council and  introduced electric buses into the townships of Cambridge and Kihikihi with our partners Waikato Regional Council.

Tranzit has partnered with Horizons Regional Council to introduce New Zealand’s first 100% electric fleet into Palmerston North and Ashhurst’s new and expanded bus network. This will help reduce the city’s carbon emission footprint and provide a superior service for passengers. Later this year we will be introducing more electric buses into other parts of regional New Zealand.
