The Seoul Government has kicked off an eco-friendly itinerary, announcing the official operation of electric-powered buses which will pry the Mt. Namsan routes.
The operation of these buses started last December 21 and are said to be the first in the world to operate electric-run buses.
SMG has worked on the project to develop full-sized electric buses with local technology over the last one and a half years, since it signed an agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hankuk Fiber for the development of electric buses in September 2009.
Electric bus services will not only improve air conditions in the city but also lead the technology of large-sized electric vehicles in the global electric car market, the City said.
