Mexico City: Moving Toward Clean Energy
With over 21 million inhabitants, Mexico City faces major transportation and sustainability challenges. Since 2005, the Metrobús BRT system has provided efficient mobility, serving 1.6 million passengers daily. Now, we're taking the next step with electric mobility.
Electric Metrobus Project
Electric bus technology has reached a stage of development that makes it viable for public transportation. This is the first time an articulated electric bus enters commercial operation in a BRT system in Mexico.
The bus is manufactured by Yutong, a world leader in electric buses with over 150,000 units produced globally.
Articulated Electric Bus
An electric vehicle consists of an electric motor and batteries that store energy. Power is supplied through charging stations.
New Travel Experience
Electric buses offer smooth, continuous acceleration without the "jerk" and noise typical of diesel buses.
Noise levels drop from 80 to 65 decibels — comparable to a quiet office environment. The travel experience is calmer and more comfortable.
The new electric articulated buses feature subway-style sliding doors for efficient boarding.
Key Benefits
For the City
Zero-emission corridor with cutting-edge technology
Energy Savings
80% less energy consumption, reducing 1,300 tons of CO₂
For Passengers

Charging Infrastructure
Electricity is transported through medium-voltage distribution lines. A transformer adapts the power for charging systems.
The 150 kW charger can fully recharge the bus battery in 3.5 hours. Charging occurs overnight when electricity rates are most economical.
