Integrated Project Solutions (IPS), has shown Rwanda’s Ambassador to Russia, Dr. Jeanne Jeanne d’Arc Mujawamariya the quality of the buses that they believe may solve the problem of public transport.
The samples of the buses are of Vihr brand, 24 seaters, capable of accommodating 57 with some standing, and one seat for a wheelchair user.
The buses have adjusters which enable people with disabilities to get on the bus easily.
With a full tank, about 1300, the bus can travel between 450-520 km.
The manufacturers say they have already researched on Rwanda’s road structure and proved that the buses are compatible with the country’s road system.
The buses are used in Russia and are unique for not emitting air polluting fumes, like the ones that use petroleum.
When the automobiles enter the Rwandan market, the manufacturers will have to build methane gas stations to fuel the newly introduced autos.
The stations are expected to be built in Rusizi and Rubavu districts plus the City of Kigali based on the length of the road connecting the three cities.
Ambassador Mujawamariya expressed contentedness with the structure and technical descriptions of the automobiles, especially the value that was given to those who travel in them taking people with disabilities into consideration which is in line with Rwanda’s endeavor to care for and protect people with disabilities.
Rwanda ranks highly among countries fighting air pollution, related diseases, and preserving the environment.
