The medium-sized city operates a fleet of 627 buses that are either fitted with a diesel-electric hybrid driveline or with a fully electric driveline.
As one of the pilot cities in China’s energy saving and new energy vehicle program, Zhuzhou’s local government has subsidized bus operators in purchasing and discount loans with ¥60 million over the past three years.
Local environment protection bureau estimates that the average fuel saving ratio is 15 percent and the green buses can save up 2 million liters of fuel each year to reduce emission of greenhouse gases by 14,000 tons.
