Clean Air Action Group (CAAG) welcomes the decision of the Hungarian Government to grant a non-repayable financial assistance of 3,9 billion Forints to BKV (Budapest public transport company) for the procurement of 20 electric buses. It is also creditable, that the buses will be produced in Hungary.

CAAG considers this success as its own, since it has actively taken part in the popularization of electric buses for years. Among others, CAAG demonstrated that electric buses are not only moving without emitting exhaust fumes, but they are also a lot more energy-efficient in the city traffic than diesel buses.

Hopefully the Hungarian Government will make further steps in order to help BKV to get from the last place to the first in modernness of buses amongst the European capital cities.
