Hyundai launches Korea’s first eco-friendly CNG hybrid bus- Blue-City



hyundai_bluecity.jpg Hyundai unveiled Korea’s first CNG hybrid bus, Blue-City, demonstrating its technological leadership in the field of eco-friendly vehicles. Blue-City, fully developed in Korea, is Hyundai’s latest eco-friendly model that delivers better fuel efficiency with lower emissions by using a CNG engine and an electric motor. The hybrid bus is equipped with a G-CNG Engine that offers 177kW (240ps) and a 6-speed automated manual transmission, while its 60kW (82ps) highly-efficient electric motor and 3.8kWh lithium-polymer battery enable safe driving and efficient charging. Despite cutting down the total number of fuel tanks to five from seven (total capacity of 770ℓ), Blue-City can still operate 340km on a single charge, which is equivalent to the existing CNG bus.
