Natural gas powered buses begin to circulate in Beitar Illit

March 26, 2019. The first two natural gas fueled buses in Israel are on the road. The buses, belonging to the Kavim-Illit transport company, are plying the roads in Beitar Illit. The two are the first of 45 such buses that the company will be eventually acquiring.

Natural gas fueled buses are on order in several local authorities and cities. The buses do not emit pollutants, and are cheaper to run than electric buses, the company said. The gas being used in the buses is not liquefied natural gas (LNG), but compressed natural gas (CNG).

Beitar Illit Mayor Meir Rubinstein said that “Beitar sees itself as a leader in Israeli public transportation, and this is true in all areas of transportation. Fortunately, the management of Kavim-Illit sees eye to eye with us on the need to advance the green revolution in our city.”
