During a trip by an electric bus around the capital of Belarus, the head of the region personally appreciated comfort of the vehicle, which represents a hybrid of a bus and a trolleybus.

"It is necessary to analyse the cost of electric buses and to decide to what extent they are more economical compared to trolleybuses, which operate from a trolley line, and to think of whether it is reasonable to purchase them to supplement a rolling stock of Penza," Ivan Belozertsev said.

He added that at present there exists a demand for environmentally friendly vehicles, which will be very popular in the future.

"We are sincerely happy for colleagues from Belarus who keep up with the times and produce such modern vehicles," the press service of the Penza region government quotes Ivan Belozertsev.
