Six electric buses join the Funchal Horários fleet

Six new fully electric buses, each seating 60 passengers, begin serving much of Funchal from tomorrow.

From tomorrow, six new buses join the fleet of Horários do Funchal. All are fully electric, have a capacity of 60 passengers and will serve much of the city.

The high-altitude routes (lines 90, 93 and 94), which need higher-traction vehicles, and the green line, which serves the city's lowest area with many tourists needing larger capacity, are not included.

The buses are air-conditioned and fitted with surveillance cameras. They can be charged in two ways: a slower charge of about 4 hours, and a faster one of 1.5 hours.
