Buenos Aires Mobilizes Infrastructure to Meet 2027 Gas and Electric Bus Mandate

Authorities are finalizing contracts for stations that will install high-power electric chargers alongside captive GNC refueling to support the city’s shift from diesel to cleaner transit.

Todas las unidades cero kilómetro que se incorporen al sistema de transporte colectivo de pasajeros deberán ser propulsadas por GNC en CABA.

Overview

  • Resolution 111/SECT/25 mandates all zero-kilometer buses run on GNC or electricity from Jan. 1, 2027; existing diesel units may operate until the end of their authorized service life.
  • Officials are finalizing contracts for electrolineras plus captive GNC refueling facilities stationed at depots or line termini.
  • The MiniMUBE pilot in the city center carried 65,000 passengers at over 90% satisfaction in its first month and will expand data collection on noise reduction and accessibility gains.
  • Subsidy frameworks are being set to pay higher rates to electric or GNC operators; measures aim to accelerate fleet conversion.
  • All new bus purchases must include ADAS to reduce blind-spot accidents involving pedestrians, cyclists or motorcyclists.
