Diesel's Dark Return: A Step Backward for Queensland's Environment The recent announcement by the Liberal National Party (LNP) to scrap electric buses in favor of diesel powered vehicles is a concerning development, not just for environmental advocates but also for anyone who cares about the long term sustainability of our transportation systems.
The decision to abandon plans for 600 zero emissions buses and opt instead for Euro 6 diesel technology represents a step backward in Queensland's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
The Labor government's zero emissions bus program, set to start rolling out electric buses from January 1, 2025, had the potential to be a game changer for the state.
