BVG Withdraws 90 Electric Buses Due to Structural FlawsThu 22nd Jan, 2026The Berlin public transport operator, BVG, has temporarily removed 90 electric buses from service following the discovery of structural issues. Delays in building new depots designed for electric buses have contributed to these revised projections. Two such facilities are not expected to be operational before 2027, reflecting the complexity of integrating electric vehicles into large-scale urban transit systems. However, the emergence of structural defects has underscored the challenges associated with rapid adoption of new electric mobility solutions. In the meantime, BVG continues to manage fleet availability to maintain reliable service levels for passengers across the city.
