German Environmental Aid is calling for increased use of electric buses in German cities. Only in Mannheim, Freiburg and Karlsruhe do over half of the buses run on battery electric power. In major eastern German cities, the proportion is highest in Leipzig at 19.6 percent, while Magdeburg has zero percent. Almost 80 percent of buses still run on diesel power, and many cities plan to purchase new combustion buses by 2030.
