What backs it

Cape Town is receiving 38 Volvo BZR Low Entry electric buses starting in 2027, with locally manufactured bodies produced by Gauteng Bus and Coach Centre in Johannesburg, marking South Africa's first electric buses with locally made bodies.

Worth noting

The order may expand if funding becomes available. Delivery begins in 2027, not immediately.
