Buses Delivered
Today 24 innovative Russian-made electric buses from the largest in Europe supply have been delivered to Moscow and will soon hit the streets of the city. The system provides with optimal temperature in the cabin as well as reduces the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The upgraded e-buses have modernised batteries that help to ride 80-90 km without charging. Besides, the front route indicator has become larger and the floor covering is now even stronger. The new electric buses are equipped with four validators instead of three, thus it will be more convenient for the passengers to pay easier and faster for the daily trips. The e-bus cabin is also provided with the adaptive light: it depends on the time of the day and changes from cold light to warm one. This created a favourable and relaxed atmosphere inside the e-bus.
