In the midst of the fuel crisis on the island, the Cuban regime is betting on electric microbuses to alleviate the transportation situation within the country.
A report from national television highlighted that the ecobuses assembled at the Military Industrial Enterprise "Colonel Francisco Aguiar Rodríguez" in Sancti Spíritus are already circulating in that province.
The entity, part of the Business System of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR), designed and is manufacturing electric microbuses to cover routes in urban public passenger services, the information indicates.
The first units are circulating, on an experimental basis, on avenues and streets of the provincial capital and have received a good reception from the population, the information emphasizes.
Each ecobus is made with locally produced components and has a capacity for 11 passengers.
The new microbuses join the electric taxis, another proposal that has been extended in recent years to several regions of the country to meet the demand for short-distance transportation and alleviate the flow of passengers in the buses.
With the expectation of delivering the vehicles ready in August, the Ministry of Transport stated last June that the project is being developed by a specialized brigade, consisting of welders, helpers, workshop mechanics, automotive mechanics, electricians, painters, and a team leader.
In recent days, the government announced the creation of electric tricycles that will have high technology and will come integrated with solar panels, which will be dedicated to passenger transport.
In addition, they will expand the regime's propaganda network with an integrated communication system, aimed at disseminating social interest topics through its two screens and an audio system.
