Governments around the globe are tirelessly planning and implementing ways to inculcate greener public transport options. Electric cars and buses are being subsidized to ensure that a bigger transition happens in favor of the environment. A Latin American country leading the way in this transition of public transit is Mexico, which is overhauling the existing gas-guzzling system with heavy investments in electric buses.The latest addition to the ever-increasing fleet of electric buses on Mexican roads is the worlds first 26-meter all-electric bus from Chinese manufacturer, Yutong. The feat-making bus is double articulated: It has multiple passenger compartments aligned in line one ahead of the other jointed by pivoting joints. Its more like the road train trucks of Australia that are made up of combined semi-trailers for hauling cargo.Designer: Yutong YutongDesigned and developed by Zhengzhou-based company, the 26-meter high-capacity bus, is completely electric and made primarily to satiate the increasing demand for low-energy public transport. According to reports in the media, Mexico already has a fleet of 744 electric buses most of it is from Yutong making it the fourth-largest fleet of electric buses in Latin America.This 26-meter bus for the Mexican roads is equipped with modern batteries and motor technology.
