Electric buses start running in Mogilev

16 января 2018

Two electric buses – a gift from the Chinese province of Hunan on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of Mogilev – run in the city now. At the moment, the buses run in a test mode without passengers. The route is expected to be at least 500 kilometers. The bus drivers had to pass a special competition. Of the 14 applicants, only 4 were selected.

Vladimir Panchenko, the driver of the electric bus: "It's easy and simple. It’s very European, and I like it very much. There are a lot of electronic devices, there are cameras in the cabin, everything is monitored, so everything is under control."

In case the test drive is successful, the two electric buses will officially start running in Mogilev by the end of the week.
