Nation's e-buses vroom on roads across the globe

Chinese manufacturers are rolling out their smart electric buses globally as demand for environmentally friendly public transport vehicles is rising in many parts of the world, especially in Europe.

CRRC Electric Vehicle Co Ltd, the manufacturing unit of electric-and gas-powered hybrid vehicles of China Railway Rolling Stock Corp, the country's largest rolling stock manufacturer by production volume, announced that it received the green light to operate its autonomous buses on open roads in Paris last week.

This marks the first time that a China-made autonomous vehicle has entered the French market.
