Showing its commitment to the green brigade, Australia has introduced the world's first solar-powered electric bus. The Tindo buses will be ferrying 42 passengers at a time in Adelaide, Australia. Not only is the bus powered 100 percent by solar energy (from a BP Solar-sourced photovoltaic station), but people can also ride it for free. According to the Adelaide City Council, "The solar electric bus and the recharging system at the Adelaide Central Bus Station represent a significant investment by the Adelaide City Council into a sustainable future for the City of Adelaide, while providing leadership in sustainable public transport options for cities around Australia."

The Tindo bus was officially launched by the Lord Mayor in Victoria Square /Tarndanyangga.
