九巴自二零一七年年七月底開始陸續將比亞迪K9R電動巴士,投放於5C,6C,35A,42A及603路線上營運測試,經過一年多測試後,有關方面發現巴士未能滿足營運需要,因此決定將巴士於二零一八年九月二十八日開始,重新調配至7M,11D,43M及203C路線替換原有之柴油巴士,服務乘客及進行測試。BDE8 (UW7982)攝於首日行走603路線,從藍田平田邨開抵中環碼頭。
KMB started to evaluate the BYD K9R electric bus on route 5C, 6C, 35A, 42A and 603 since the end of Jul., 2017. After trial for a year, the BYD proved that cannot meet the operation need on these routes and relocated to route 7M,11D, 43M and 203C for further trial since 28 Sep., 2018. Seen here outside Central Ferry Concourse is BDE8 (UW7982), just finished it journey from Ping Tin Estate, Lam Tin during the first day service on route 603. |
