Chile takes an unprecedented step and achieves a new milestone in electromobility by launching the first electric bus manufactured in the country to operate in Antarctica. Developed by Reborn Electric Motors and operated by DAP, this innovative vehicle stands out for its robust design, high energy efficiency, advanced safety, capacity for 24 passengers, and telemetry technology. Following the success of its first three months of operation, Reborn Electric Motors, Chile’s first electric bus factory, and DAP, the world’s leading Antarctic air operator, are initiating a long-term collaboration.
The Chilean startup Reborn Electric Motors has taken a significant step by exporting its first electric bus made in Chile to Brazil, a development that highlights the country's progress in electromobility and enhances its international image. This vehicle is destined for Brazil’s public transportation system.
