House of Commons to Explore Acquisition of Electric Shuttle Bus for Members of Parliament
The House of Commons is gathering information on what it would take to exchange its current shuttle bus for MPs for an electric one.
A request for information (RFI) issued on Dec. 21, 2023, is set to gather information about the costs and concerns associated with the switch.
The RFI is not a commitment by the government to purchase the vehicle, but rather to collect information from those in the industry about what would be required if the House decided to move forward with purchasing an electric bus.
“The main goal of this RFI is to identify the brands and models of battery electric vehicle (BEV), on the current market, more specifically, 16 to 20 passenger shuttle bus,” the document says.
MPs have access to the shuttle to conduct government business while in Ottawa. The current bus is a Ford E-360 that seats up to 16 passengers, according to the RFI.
A spokesperson for the Speaker’s Office told The Epoch Times in an email that the current shuttle traveled 75,000 kilometers in 2023.
