A dedicated bus line for pure electric vehicles was officially put into operation in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal. It is the first bus line in Africa to operate withpure electric buses. The bus model is EVCRRC's 18-meter articulated pure electric vehicle, boasting significant advantages such as high corrosion resistance, high energy efficiency, and long service life. The buses are well adapted to the harsh dusty (sandy) and salty (coastal) local climatic and terrain conditions. The buses have a maximum of 55 seats, with a maximum passenger capacity of 150 people. The transport capacity is 1.5 to 2 times greater than that of ordinary buses, and the driving range is not less than 250 kilometers on a single charge.

Since the opening of the bus line, the EVCRRC buses have been favored by local bus technicians and passengers because of their stylish appearance, excellent quality, and convenient after-sales service. More and more commuters, students, and travelers choose to take the electric buses.

EVCRRC's new energy buses have been exported to more than 20 countries and regions, including France, South Korea, New Zealand, and Brazil.
