www.chinabuses.org: Mozambique ordered earlier this year a fleet of 150 Tata Motors natural gas buses for the public transport system in the country’s capital Maputo. The first batch of 32 CNG-powered vehicles manufactured by the Indian company has meanwhile arrived in Maputo port to be put in operation across the routes of TPM, the local public transport company, while 18 more buses will enter service in due course. The remaining 100 vehicles will be shipped to the country in August.

A credit system financed by the government’s Transport and Communications Fund (FTC) made possible the acquisition of the natural gas powered buses, which can refuel at TPM facilities in central Maputo and also at a supply post near the MOZAL aluminium smelter on the outskirts of the city. Engineers and mechanics from TPM have been sent to India for training in these units maintenance.
