Located in northwestern Mexico, Hermosillo is accelerating the green upgrade of its public transit system as its urban commuter network continues to expand. The Zhongtong N8 buses represent a breakthrough from zero to one for zero-emission public transport in the city. Once in service, the fleet will help improve urban air quality and support Hermosillo’s low-carbon development goals.

The buses will operate on Hermosillo’s bus rapid transit routes, serving major thoroughfares including Avenida Solidaridad, Avenida Morelos and Avenida Luis Encinas. The service covers 212 communities, 113 schools and multiple key medical institutions, offering residents a new travel experience defined by eco-friendliness and riding comfort.

Tailored to Hermosillo’s road conditions, climate and local regulatory requirements, the buses have undergone multiple targeted optimizations. Reinforced body and chassis structures deliver robust performance for heavy-duty operation, while high-capacity air-conditioning systems are fitted to cope with persistently high local temperatures and maintain passenger comfort.

Notably, the fleet is built to full accessibility standards. Low-floor entry, wheelchair ramps and bus-kneeling functions facilitate boarding and alighting for elderly passengers and people with special needs. In compliance with local legislation, the buses also feature designated seats for visually impaired passengers and dedicated areas for guide dogs, creating a safer, more inclusive riding environment.

 

Going forward, Zhongtong Bus will adhere to long-term-oriented development, deepen its global footprint and boost innovation in new-energy technologies. Through continuously upgraded products, the company will showcase the strengths of “Intelligent Manufacturing in China” across more regions worldwide.
