Electric buses will begin trials in the Brisbane CBD area beginning June 14 in the city’s first renewable energy transport initiative.
There will be 4 electrically-powered buses offering free transport throughout the Brisbane city area, running two City Loop services, routes 40 and 50.
The 4 electric buses create zero tail-pipe emissions while in operation, and have airconditioning, phone charging units for passengers and will run a full day’s service on a single.
The Chinese manufacturing company, Yutong, also makes buses for New Zealand, Europe, Asia and the US.
