With the acquisition of NZ Bus Ltd, Kinetic has become the largest operator of battery electric buses in the Australasia region, and one of the largest globally.

As part of a Victoria State Government trial programme, 1,500 e-scooters will be available to residents for a 12-month period, offering a safe, accessible, eco-friendly and cost-effective way to travel.
