Key features:
Water cooled driven motor
It operates at atmospheric temperature. Apart from reducing heat emission, it increases durability and efficiency of the transmission system.

Fuel economy
The power cost is 75 % lower than the diesel cost required by similar ordinary buses.
However, the cost for a 18 cell battery pack costs about HKD 50,000.

Battery management system
Overcharging and discharging is prevented, thus increasing battery life.

Regenerative braking system
It retards the vehicle speed and restores electric power of the battery simultaneously when the brakes is applied.

Computerised drive control system
It controls all electric systems of the bus.

Hill start aid
It keeps the bus stopping on the slope when driver releases his foot from the brake pedal and switch to accelerator.

Electric protection system
Circuit is disconnected by integrated circuit breaker in case of power surge or short circuit. Each system has its own fuse.

Global positioning system
It provides both real time positioning and navigational signals, which allows the bus company to know the location and  battery condition of each bus in the control centre.

Battery monitor
A screen is provided at the dash board showing battery conditions in detail. Once there is fault, a buzzer would sound and notify the driver to replace battery / attend to relevant problems. When there is low voltage, the interior lighting / air condition would be cut off and buzzer / screen alerts the driver to stop the bus and call for repair.

Charging station requirements
80A, 3 phase electricity
