The regional government is to trial the use of electric buses for routes of twenty kilometres or more. One of the specifications for new bus transport concessions that will be effective from 2019 is the progressive introduction of vehicles which generate lower or no emissions.

Having seen and NOT heard Electric Powered Vehicles , my concern is you can not hear them. When walking along, you hear vehicles approaching from behind etc. But the very quiet electric vehicles can not be detected .
Electric Buses are a good start to combat pollution of the air. But, what is being done to remove Diesel Operated Vehicles ?.Tens of thousands pollute Mallorca. Especially in The Season, when thousands of Hire Cars come on to the roads.
I'm staggered at how little solar energy is produced locally. Anybody know why that is when there's abundant sunshine in summer and plenty enough in winter?
