Shenzhen鈥檚 16,000 buses go 鈥榞reen鈥
Print Edition
Shenzhen has put more than 16,000 purely electric buses on its roads so far, making all of the city鈥檚 buses go 鈥済reen.鈥
To ensure their smooth operation, Shenzhen has built 510 bus charging stations and installed 5,000 charging facilities from 2009, according to the Shenzhen Transport Commission.
Besides 鈥済reen鈥 buses, Shenzhen is also promoting electric cabs with more than 12,500 running on its roads. The city is expected to replace its entire fleet of cabs with environmental-friendly ones by 2020.
鈥淓lectric buses and taxis play an important role in the city鈥檚 fight against air pollution,鈥 said the commission鈥檚 spokesperson.
The commission said the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by electric buses has fallen by 1.35 million tonnes annually compared with that discharged by traditional buses.
Moreover, the electric transport system can alleviate the city鈥檚 noise and heat effect, the commission said.
Currently, many Chinese cities are encouraging clean energy-powered transport as part of China鈥檚 efforts to protect the environment.
Taiyuan, the city at the center of the coal industry in Shanxi Province, has made all its cabs electric, and the city plans to add 1,000 electric buses in 2018.
