Citaro BZs in Beijing

3 Citaro BEs were sent to Beijing for trial in 2006 and 2007. They were the first imported fuel cell buses in China. 京A B0854 was photographed on Zhongguanchuandaijie on 28 August 2007.

Being the most environmental friendly bus in Beijing, the fuel cell buses looked very unique on the roads in the capital.  They only operated at day time non-peak hours from Monday to Friday, serving between Yiheyuanbeigongmen and Renmen University of China.. The buses were displayed "科技示范車" (Technology Demonstrator) instead of the route it served (801 short trip). Fare was RMB1 (flat fare). No discount was offered to smart card users.
