Nepal’s journey to electric public transport

Nothing could be more symbolic of Nepal’s goal of being net-zero in energy by 2045 than the sight on new year’s day on Thursday as three new Chinese electric buses drove past a hydro-electric plant and a solar panel array on the Bhote Kosi River.

Nepal’s journey to electric public transport

The three buses are the first of 40 battery-powered buses ordered by the Sajha Yatayat cooperative public transport service from China. They will be running on renewable energy generated by power-plants like the 45MW Upper Bhote Kosi hydroelectric project along the Arniko Highway to the Chinese border.

The three buses arrived at the Tatopani customs on Saturday, and will be brought to Kathmandu on flatbed trucks, since the highway is rough in places for the low-clearance buses. And after undergoing gradient, roadworthiness and range tests in Kathmandu, the other 37 buses will arrive later this year.
