惠灵顿将在2027年在2号公路上 启动5辆电动“金字塔”巴士 以提高能力并减少排放 Wellington to launch 5 electric "bendy" buses on Route 2 in 2027 to boost capacity and cut emissions.

2027年,惠灵顿将在Karori与Courtenay Place(该市最繁忙的路线)之间的2号公路上, 开通五辆电动客车, In 2027, Wellington will launch five electric articulated buses, or "bendy buses," on Route 2 between Karori and Courtenay Place, the city’s busiest route. 这些新车是大惠灵顿和动能运营商项目的一部分,将比标准公共汽车提供65%的容量,设计这些新车是为了比双层车更好地处理隧道线路。 The new vehicles, part of a project by Greater Wellington and operator Kinetic, will offer 65% more capacity than standard buses and are designed to handle tunnel routes better than double-deckers. 推出工作是在2023年和2025年成功试行之后进行的,由大惠灵顿市议会和惠灵顿市议会资助,通过更新的公共汽车站提供支持。 The rollout follows successful trials in 2023 and 2025 and is supported by upgraded bus stops funded by both Greater Wellington and Wellington City Council. 该倡议旨在满足不断增长的需求——目前每年有300多万次旅行,预计会翻一番——同时改善旅程时间,减少拥堵,推动公共交通去碳化。 The initiative aims to meet rising demand—currently over 3 million annual trips expected to double—while improving journey times, reducing congestion, and advancing public transport decarbonization.
