The world's first articulated bus powered exclusively by batteries and intended for public transportation began to be tested today with passengers in the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, in development of a pilot project promoted by the regional government.

The Government of the state of Sao Paulo reported in a statement that the vehicle, called EBus and developed by two divisions of the Japanese multinational Mitsubishi together with the Brazilian concessionaire Metra, is the first in the world to use this technology for public service. .

The project, which seeks to reduce the emission of polluting gases and noise, is an initiative of the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Urban Transport Company (EMTU-SP).

The testing phase began this Thursday in Diadema, one of the Europe Cell Phone Number List municipalities of the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo, and seeks to “verify the technical and economic-financial feasibility of the electric traction technology completely powered by batteries, without the need for implementation of an aerial feeding network, as occurs with the so-called trolleybuses,” the statement noted.

Since November of last year, the EBus prototype circulated with sandbags as weight, but starting today and until June it will begin transporting passengers on a daily route of 11 kilometers between the São Paulo neighborhood of Morumbí and Diadema, as announced by the governor of Sao Paulo, Geraldo Alckmin.

The bus is 18 meters long in two bodies and has the capacity to transport 124 passengers, with a rechargeable battery system that allows it to travel 160 kilometers per day with four recharges.
