Reference Message Network reported on May 11 that according to a report from Prensa Latina on May 10, 300 high-tech electric buses made in China have arrived in Chile and joined the fleet of 2555 buses currently operating on the streets of the Santiago Metropolitan Region.
The report stated that this batch of electric buses from China has arrived at the San Antonio Port in the Valparaiso Region. These are the first of a total of 1800 electric buses made in China, which will be used to improve public transportation services in Chile and reduce pollution caused by diesel.
Chile's Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications said that after all the Chinese electric buses are put into operation, the proportion of electric vehicles in the RED bus system of the capital metropolitan area will reach 68%.
Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications of Chile, Juan Carlos Munoz, stated that they are working hard to ensure that electric transportation covers all areas.
Some new features of the new Zhongtong passenger buses from China include built-in safety cameras, USB interfaces, wireless networks, and blind spot monitoring systems.
Paula Tapia, director of the Transportation Bureau of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, pointed out that the RED bus system of the Santiago Metropolitan Region accounts for only 3.3% of transportation pollution emissions and has made great contributions to reducing environmental noise.
