Minsk Automobile Plant has released the first electric bus

At the exhibition of Belarusian science and technology achievements Minsk Automobile Plant presented its first electric bus, which belongs to the latest generation of buses and is able to pass a large city without recharging.

Electric bus is a more environmentally friendly form of transport than an ordinary bus due to the absence of pollutant emissions into the environment. At the same time, it does not depend on a contact network like a trolleybus. The development of environmentally friendly urban transport is a contribution to Sustainable Development Goals 9 (Industrialization, Innovation and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Settlements), 13 (Combating Climate Change).

The new model combines the advantages of bus and trolleybus. The electric bus has a barrier-free zone and a retractable ramp for wheelchair users. Information on the characteristics of the new electric bus can be found on the website of the Ministry of Industry.
