MALAGA, SPAIN, has become the first European city to have a zero-emissions autonomous bus in full high-capacity passenger-carrying operation on its streets, via local operator Avanza, Irizar reports recently.
According to Irizar, the project’s breakthrough is its capacity to transport passengers and its interaction with vehicles, pedestrians and infrastructure under real conditions in the city of Malaga.
The fully electric 12-metre-long Irizar ie bus is a pioneering project because it involves putting a standard-size vehicle on the road in a real city-traffic situation, Irizar explains.
