The Jamaica Urban Transit Company Limited (JUTC) and the Ministry of Transport and Mining, are pleased to announce that the first electric bus has arrived in Jamaica.

The bus which arrived in the island just over a week ago seats thirty-five (35) and has special needs access to accommodate members of the disabled community.

In another couple of weeks, after the completion of the licensing and insurance processes, as well staff training and sensitization, the JUTC will be embarking on a pilot project to test the unit in anticipation of the arrival of another five (5) electric operated buses expected in the island next year.
