| Project Detail |
OBJECTIVE
To improve the quality and efficiency of public transport service by replacing existing fossil-fueled buses with battery electric buses (BEBs) and applying digital information technology to public transport management systems in selected cities in Liaoning.
DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project will, above all, substitute modern BEBs for existing diesel-fueled or gas-fueled buses in five small and/or medium cities in Liaoning, including Fuxin City, Hu’ludao City, Jinzhou City, Panjin City, and Yingkou City. Also, public transport management systems in the Project cities will be upgraded using smart digitalized platforms. The proposed Project will demonstrate that: (i) BEBs are viable options to zero-emission public transport systems in Liaoning; and (ii) smart public transport management system can enhance the efficiency of public transport, provide better services, and attract more passengers to use public transport in the Project cities.
Key Project activities include:
procurement of about 1,295 BEBs.
construction of about 318 new bus chargers.
installation of smart public transport management systems and supporting software and equipment in the Project cities, which include automated fare collection terminals, automatic vehicle location system, real-time driving assistance and safety systems, passenger information systems, depot management system, and bus stop management system, etc.
construction of the Liaodong Bay Intercity Bus Service Center in Panjin,
and construction of the New Green Bus Maintenance Workshop in Fuxin. |
