Handan Wanhe Bus Company bought ten Zhongtong LNG buses in Jan. 2012 and they purchased another 35 Zhongtong LNG buses there after, and they have 90 Zhongtong buses altogether. 

Asked why they chose Zhongtong LNG buses, our journalist us told that costs is their first priority and the natural buses can save 40% fuel costs but the maintenance costs are higher so that they can save 30% cost finally. 

The average price for the natural gas bus is for 0.5 million Yuan, and they can retrive the costs  in two years according to their current operation profits, and the average life of use for the buses are six years, so that this a profitable choice for the bus operator. 

The price for thr natiral gases are rather low, it is about 3.56 Yuan per cubic meter in Handan City this year. And the price is rather low compared with petrol and diesel.
