[alithegreat]

By our correspondent

KARACHI: Hinopak Motors, the largest manufacturer of trucks and buses in Pakistan, launched its Hino Dutro light duty truck and locally made CNG bus the other day. Chairman Hinopak Kunwar Idris urged government to support urban transport system based on CNG-run buses and also sought cooperation from transport operators. Managing Director and CEO Hinopak K Maeda said these latest introductions were more environmental friendly, safer and more comfortable for drivers and passengers. He said CNG buses would help reduce oil import bill, which was heavily costing the national exchequer. The company has invested more than one billion rupees in the project, said a press release issued here.

Does it have any "Stop requested" or "Arret demande" button? If u want to get off, what do u do? do u tell the driver to stop? or just press the Stop requested button? plz tell me...

[eihab]

[nak]

i dont know wat to say..Hey btw "Dedicated CNG Engine" is written on the bus..Do u guys get any hint from that???..well i think it would just be having a dedicated CNG engine for the A/C system..as the present buses have dedicated engines for A/C but they run either on diesel or Petrol...coz i dont think so that such a huge bus can be run on CNG

@tania

here people say at the top of their voice "BRAKE SHAAA USTAAAZ!!!"... now it depends on their luck whether the driver listens to their hollers or not :p:p

[KamranAslam]

they will work....in the past we already had Scania running on CNG...they worked well...not on the road now coz of the spare parts issue...but these can work...

Actualy, if you look closely at the vertical pipes next to the seats, you'll notice 2 yellow colored points which have the stop-call button. I remember these from the actual KHI Green Buses that used to run in 2002-03. That was a very good one.

(y)...nice info! How many cylinders it has got? I've heard the other countires usually use 10 cylinder of 70L in stack. If that's true, like it has dedicated CNG engine, it must have a dedicated CNG filling point too.....

[vicky_multani808]

any one tells me that what iz the loading capacity of dutro as well as its price also

[guy4u]

let us hope it may stay for a longer period of time not like those green buses which we people burn during protests and all .
