SYDNEY Airport will investigate introducing electric buses between the airport terminals and car parks.
The airport has called for expressions of interest from manufacturers for the supply of the buses, to be used on the shuttle route between the T2/T3 precinct and the Blu Emu Car Park.
Sydney Airport general manager — parking and ground transport Craig Norton said they were always looking to improve the efficiency and sustainability of transport.
"Finding sustainable transport solutions is a priority for the airport and advances in electric-vehicle technology in recent years means we can now look seriously at the feasibility of introducing electric buses," he said.
"We're looking for a manufacturer who can deliver first-rate electric vehicles to replace the six diesel buses that currently transport passengers and staff between the Blu Emu Car Park and the domestic terminals.
"This is a busy shuttle route and optimum operational efficiency and passenger comfort will be two of the key criteria we'll look for from any manufacturer."
More than 1.6 million passengers and airport workers were transported on the Blu Emu Car Park's buses last year.
