Qabil Ashirov read more The first electric bus was brought to Baku, Azernews reports, citing the Baku transport Agency
(BTA).
BTA said that one 12-meter electric bus was bought for test
purposes from the Chinese BYD company which is the world's leading
manufacturer of electric buses. The total passenger capacity of the
bus with 33 passenger seats is 82 people. The bus with a battery
capacity of 383 kW can cover a distance of 350 km on a full charge.
The vehicle fully meets the requirements of modern passenger
transportation.
The Chairman of BTA Vusal Karimli shared a post about the issue.
He said that during the test, the compatibility of the electric bus
with the existing terrain of Baku city will be checked and
evaluated. Based on the results of the test, a proposal will be
prepared and submitted to the government regarding the introduction
of electric buses in the public transport of Baku city.
We should note that the Clean Bus Declaration (BUS2025) has been
signed to promote the large-scale implementation of clean,
alternative fuel buses in Europe. So, approximately half of the
buses moving on the world's roads are planned to switch to fully
electric buses within the next 5 years.
