www.chinabuses.org: Double-decker buses are set to reappear in Hangzhou soon, and this time they will be more comfortable and environmentally friendly. The double decker buses started operating in Hangzhou in 1996 and stopped running in 2009.
This year, the city’s public transportation company conducted a number of negotiations with bus makers, emphasizing that the substitutive model must be equipped with air-conditioning and feature good shock absorption performance. Finally, the company decided on Foton Motor (Guangdong)’s model.
The streamline Beiqi Foton BJ6128C8BCD renewable-energy double-decker bus features high day-lighting design and is suitable for sightseeing. Each will cost around 1 million yuan (US$158,730), according to the public bus operator. The overall dimensions are 12350mm×2550mm×3980mm. Connected by a single stairway with handrails, the upper deck has a total 46 seats and the lower deck has 15 seats. The upper and lower decks are respectively 1.72m and 1.8m high. The bus is loaded with LNG engine meeting the Euro IV emission standard.
Quite a few Chinese cities have double-decker buses, but few of them are driven by renewable energy. It might probably the first in China.
