Poll: Do you like the new electric buses?
An “extra large” sized electric bus designed especially for New Zealand has been handed over in Auckland.
The 78-passenger Yutong E13 has a double rear-axle, like the largest diesel-powered single-decker buses, and carries bigger and more powerful batteries to increase its daily range.
Auckland Transport has bought the bus to trial initially on long-haul eastern routes such as the 70 service from Botany to the CBD.
The new bus is bigger than the models currently entering service around Auckland, and the extra axle is expected to reduce wear and tear on the roads.
