NEWS | The University of Alabama launched eight electric buses in its Crimson Ride fleet in early September, advancing its electric vehicle research.

The zero-emission buses operate on the regular routes around campus and nearby areas as part of a fleet of nearly 50 vehicles. They produce no tailpipe emissions and run more quietly than diesel models.

Bharat Balasubramanian, executive director of the Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies at the Lee J. Styslinger Jr. College of Engineering and chief mobility research and development officer at the Alabama Transportation Institute, said the project is aimed at combining service and study.

“This is a project that offers emission-free transportation and advanced mobility technologies for the community,” Balasubramanian said. “At the same time, it creates a living laboratory where students and faculty can study electric mobility in real-world operations.”
