Shanghai is poised to undergo a significant transformation in its public transportation sector, with a plan to transition entirely to new energy vehicles (NEVs) for buses and taxis by the conclusion of 2027. This ambitious shift is outlined in the city’s most recent strategy for enhancing transportation infrastructure and equipment.

Between 2024 and 2027, the city has committed to gradually replacing over 9% of its existing fleet of public buses and taxis with NEVs each year. By the end of this period, it is projected that Shanghai will introduce approximately 6,200 NEV buses and 11,000 NEV taxis.

In its effort to modernize, Shanghai is determined to retire its older buses and make significant strides in the development of various new energy buses, including those powered purely by electricity. The city also plans to pilot fuel cell buses and has set a goal to ensure that all new and upgraded vehicles are NEVs, with an annual target of adding around 1,550 new energy buses to its fleet.

During the same timeframe, all newly added or updated taxis in the city will be mandated to operate as NEVs. The annual update is expected to bring about 2,800 new energy taxis to the roads.

Furthermore, the city plans to bolster the upkeep of bus batteries by enhancing performance standards and ensuring timely replacement of power batteries, with an estimated 500 battery sets expected to be updated annually.
