A first batch of Iranian-made electric buses has entered service in the Iranian capital, Tehran, as part of efforts to modernize the city\u2019s public transport fleet and reduce pollution caused by traditional diesel-powered buses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tehran Deputy Mayor Mohsen Hormozi attended a ceremony on Tuesday to unveil five new electric buses manufactured by Iranian companies for use in the city\u2019s public transport system.<\/p>\n

Hormozi said the five buses will operate on a 4.5-kilometer, relatively flat route in central Tehran as part of a pilot program designed to test their performance under real-world operating conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took a considerable amount of time to complete the technical tests on these buses, as they are the first of their kind produced domestically and needed to reach full operational stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The official added that up to 25 more domestically produced electric buses will be delivered to the Tehran municipality by the end of the current Iranian calendar year in late March, followed by another 25 by late May. He said that the number of home-made electric buses in Tehran\u2019s fleet is expected to reach 100 by the summer of next year.<\/p>\n

A joint product of Iranian companies Oghab Afshan and MAPNA, the buses are supplied by a newly established company called SHETAB and are marketed under the Zima brand. They will join a fleet of 390 electric buses that have already been imported from China and are currently serving inner-city passengers in Tehran.<\/p>\n

Reports say that around 110 additional Chinese-made electric buses are expected to join Tehran\u2019s transport fleet soon after completing customs clearance at ports in southern Iran.<\/p>\n

The introduction of electric buses is part of a broader program in Tehran and other major Iranian cities aimed at upgrading public transport systems and reducing emissions from conventional vehicles.<\/p>\n

According to recent data from Iran\u2019s Environment Protection Organization, motor vehicles account for up to 80% of air pollution in Tehran, a city that experiences particularly high pollution levels during the early and mid-autumn months.<\/p>\n
